Bump on face

[MyHomeZoo]

Hi, I just noticed that my Larry has a bump on his nose and one of his eye turrets is swoolen. Does anyone know what this could be? He's still eating and sunning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a sinus infection to me.

Is the only way to fix a sinus infection to get him to the vet?

Ya. He will need antibiotics for the infection and possibly minor surgery to remove the puss that has formed.

How long did it take for this to develop?

I'm not certain, but it wasn't there a week ans a half ago.

Agree. Sinus infection, contact your vet. They may require a visit & or prescribe antibiotics. In the time being consiter any changes in the environment. Such as using central air to heat/ cool. Candles. (Smoking) anything that could be potential irritant. Hope for a quick recovery

For learning, what makes you two say sinus infection?

I was looking at the chameleon health section of the forums and that’s what matched. The big bump on his nose is the sinuses getting blocked with puss.
