Tonight Beans had a huge lump on his bum. It was about the diameter of a golf ball, but obviously not as rounded, and felt exactly like how i react to a Mozzie bite.

He is usually quite nervy, tonight he seemed very chilled out, almost too quiet. It didnt seem to bother him i was poking and prodding it for quite some time, and there is no broken skin or marks or blood - he is white there, so it would show up.

Could it be some sort of insect bite? I dont think it is fly strike - i inspect them daily and have seen no signs, and there is no sign of broken skin, like i said.

He is eating and drinking, although i was worried he was drooling a bit, but i think he had just had a drink (he was near the bottle when i picked him up).

ANy ideas?
 
Sounds like an abcess, this will need vet treatment asap :)
 
Sounds like he needs to go to the vet. If you bring him there keep us updated. Hope your little boy gets well soon!
