Ball python –possible internal abscess or tumor?
Q: My ball python might possibly have an abscess or a tumor. Not really certain. (We have a vet appointment scheduled first thing Monday morning, so please don’t tell me to take him to a good vet. I am). I’ve been looking into possibilities of what we might be dealing with. Many sites say internal abscesses often aren’t removed but treated with antibiotics. For anyone with personal experience (vet, breeder, similar scenario) how long does the treatment go for? It sounds lengthy. Having taken in reptiles in horrid conditions, I’m used to these types of things but never one quite like this. What goes into the treatment for internal abscesses and/or tumors? Here are details if they’d help in answering: Rescued this ball python over four years ago. He had a small cut near the front of his face due to a successful cage escape. It never became inflamed or anything and healed fast. That was over 4 yrs ago. It left a small scar/bump. In the past few weeks it’s begun growing. Now a rounding bulge on the top of his face. He’s started to rub his face against the sides of the cage and the ceiling, possibly due to discomfort. Any ideas on this? Unlike some of my other rescues, this poor boy’s been through a lot of health problems including an abundance of pinworms and a kidney infection in which we had to give him shots and fluids. He’s having no problems eating. Very healthy appetite. So it’s not inside his mouth. Not mouth rot. I’ve checked. Any insight about abscesses and tumors (or anything else you think it may be) in snakes, I’d appreciate it.
A: Abscesses in reptiles rarely go away if they are treated with antibiotics. While the bacteria that caused them might go away, most often the abscess itself must be cleaned out. Unlike humans, abscesses in reptiles are thick cheesy type of material. Left in place it will not be absorbed and will eventually get bacteria back in there. Most vets will open it and clean it out depending upon where it is. I would definitely have a confirmed abscess cleaned out surgically especially when it’s located on the head. There’s so many problems that could be caused if it’s left there. Eye involvement, bone and the area around the brain. I wouldn’t risk it. Tumors will have to be assessed individually. If it’s benign it might still require removal to avoid secondary problems with…again…eyes etc. Hope he does well for you. Kudos to you for helping these guys out.
Hamster Abscess?
Q: A large, red lump appeared on my hamster’s neck (like right under his mouth) on the right side yesterday. Today it looks like the bottom of it is turning black/brown. It feels hard, but it’s difficult to tell because he won’t stay still. He’s acting perfectly normal. I don’t think a tumor would just pop up that quickly and he’s been eating a new “nut cracker” treat that he really has to work at, so I’m thinking maybe he cut himself inside his mouth/pouch or it’s stuck in there? Everyone replies to others with “go to the vet”, but how much does that cost for a hamster?! Is there any way, do these ever go away on their own? I have no money right now…any help is appreciated. Thank you.Thanks for the replies. I took him to the vet and it WAS an abscess! And since it basically popped itself (pus was already coming out on the way there), it was only $53 and he’s now on meds for the next week 🙂
A: yea take it to a vet asap it is a sickness idk wahts it called but hampsters get ti most common in dawrf ones but it leads to death if you dont get it taken care of asap
*detailed question* Gum issue? Abscess or something else?
Q: For the last several months, I have had reoccurring lumps of sorts on my gums. They started about a day after my last dental visit, where I had x-rays and all of the other usual dentist checkup-y things done and they didn’t find any abscesses or any signs of oral cancer, or anything wrong except for some cavities that needed to be filled and early signs of gum disease due to poor dental care when I was younger and lack of checkups for a year or two. As far as I know abscesses or oral cancer (at least not in the stage of what I would consider to be a tumor, if it were cancer) don’t just “appear” in a day after having x-rays and a full workup done on my mouth. I do have 2 teeth with cavities in the back of my mouth (one on each side, actually below where the lumps are) but the dentist didn’t think either of them were THAT bad, but should be filled as soon as possible, though due to me not having any insurance he didn’t see any reason that with proper personal dental care it couldn’t be taken care of a little bit later when things were more financially stable and I had my insurance issue settled. I do have my wisdom teeth coming in slowly, but they are only coming in on the bottom. For whatever reason, I don’t have top wisdom teeth.Anyway, I have these lumps on my gums, and everything I have ever read about abscesses says that they cause pain, usually immense pain, but mine don’t cause any pain at all. They’re not even a tiny bit sore, and they go away intermittently but then raise back up, usually in the morning when I wake up. They are usually always above the back teeth on my gums, the one on the right is about the size of a jellybean, and is newer than the one on the left. The one on the right feels like I can move it with my tongue, like I can push it around and lift up part of it with my tongue, but this is a new thing and before the lump has always just been a solid lump, never anything movable. The one on the left is smaller, and usually less inflamed than the right one usually. They feel as though they’re filled with something, though I’ve read and heard that when an abcess bursts there is a VERY bitter and unpleasant taste in your mouth from the pus. When my… well, whatever they are, go down, I don’t taste anything in my mouth, much less anything bitter or gross, and they don’t hurt when they go away or when they re-appear. They slightly vary in size, but are always smaller than the jellybean size, which is the biggest they ever get, and they don’t get that big very often. As for color… the last I checked they are the same pinkish color of my gums, not white or yellow or anything. I don’t have any underlying conditions, I am otherwise medically healthy.Any ideas as to what this is or how to go about treating it? I went on a cycle of antibiotics back in September when I first was terrified I had dental abcesses, but they didn’t go away. My GP thought that maybe they weren’t dental abcesses or a dental infection… but wasn’t sure what they were since there was no pain and they didn’t go away with antibiotics. I read somewhere about some kind of condition where you just get growths on your gums that eventually go down or go away, and I can’t get to my doctor/dentist until March again because of insurance reasons…again.
A: Are they behind your last molars, on the tissue where your wisdom teeth will erupt? If you can take a picture and post it, that would be helpful. I do not think that they are an abscess because your dentist would have seen an infection on the x-ray. Also, I do not think that they are pyogenic granulomas. These take more than two days to develop. It seems that these vesicles are caused by some irritants while you were at your dentist. As long as they go away within two weeks, you shouldn’t worry. If they last longer than two weeks you should probably see you dentist asap to rule out anything serious. (oral cancer doesn’t typically present itself in this manner)You may want to rinse with a cup of warm water + 1 tsp. salt. And maintain good oral hygiene!EDIT: please note that pyogenic granulomas, like most granulomas or fibromas, are usually caused by chronic irritants (i.e. subgingival calculus aka “tarter”), not going to an hour long appointment.Good luck
