Hello,

Hm, that is very odd looking indeed. How long have those been there & have they remained
the same size or are they getting bigger? Is it affecting his ability to eat that you can tell?
You can get some betadine & dilute it down until it resembles a very weak tea to try & clean
out his mouth gently with a swab.
I do think though that you should consider getting him in to see a vet. It could be an abscess of
some type from an injury possibly. Are those areas hard or soft?

They have been there since last Monday however they were not that big. They were just small dots I didn’t think anything of it until last night he was holding his mouth open and I noticed them. I offered him food and he ate it so he has no problem eating from what I can tell. He is 8 years old and as I mentioned he has been in and out of the vet all of October for some antibiotic shots because he had a respiratory infection. These just appeared so idk what to do. Probably end up taking him to the vet again ;( poor Gregory

Hello,

Sorry I missed your post~!
How is your boy doing today, are those bumps still the same or have they changed any?
If they get larger, it will probably affect his ability to eat very well then. How long was he
on the antibiotic shots & which antibiotic was he on?
The bumps could be aspirated for fluids to see what type of bacteria is present. They can do
a culture of the fluids or tissue.
Let us know how he is doing.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
