Lump on chest

[Brandon223]

Hey everyone. Does anybody know what this lump is on my bearded dragon Sunrise. Her behavior is normal but i noticed this lump on her today. I heard it could be a abscesses. The lump is hard when i touch it and she doesn't react. Any advice would be helpful because i heard abscesses removal can be expensive.

Hello,

It is a bit hard to see but I think I can see the area on the chest you are referring to. Did it just crop up suddenly or has it slowly developed?
If it is hard, it could just be a cyst. Can you think of anytime that he could have fallen & hurt himself?
Does it seem to be bothering him?
He is a great looking boy!

Could you highlight it with an arrow? For me this looks like normal chest muscles.

I'm not sure when it happened i think it was not to long ago because i don't remember noticing it on her. It's almost directly in the middle of her chest. If it is a cyst can it go away on it's own?

Hello,

Sometimes, a vet will drain the cyst or aspirate fluids to analyze it just to be sure there isn't any infection inside of it. It probably wont go away on its own if it's a cyst.
