This was my 5 year old male hypo zero… he had to be euthanized last week.
I’ll try to keep this short.
Last Saturday found a massive hard lump in the right side of his beard. Looked inside his mouth and see the large obstructive round mass as shown in the photos.
My usual reptile vet wasn’t available until Tuesday so on Monday I saw a different vet that a couple people had recommended to me.
He tried to aspirate fluid off the mass to see what was inside and it ended up being just blood. He took samples as well as tissue samples under sedation and sent us home and the bleeding has seemed to stabilize.
Overnight it must have begun to bleed again because I found my guy with a large amount of blood in the morning.
Rushed him to the original vet I was supposed to see and was there right at opening.
They couldn’t get the bleeding under control and the area was near a main artery… my guy wasn’t doing well and we elected to do euthanasia.
I’m looking for answers. I’ve found hematoma VS aneurysm. I just want to know if anyone else has had anything similar happen?
Thanks in advance
