Mr Toffee developed a fatty lump on his shoulder/behind his ear just before Christmas, he had some swelling and has also been behaving a bit strangely and not eating or running in his wheel as much as usual. My local vet - Claire - removed pus and gave him some antibiotics as it was slightly infected. Over the next week the bruising did go down but some swelling on the back of his neck seemed to increase and the lump returned.
Claire our vet referred Mr Toffee to a specialist exotic vet in Warick and we found out the cause of Mr T's troubles....he is fat >_< It was a surprise to me as he can still roll into a tight ball, which apparently means he is trim. How wrong! The “swelling” in the back of his neck is a spare tire. I have changed his diet to one much lower in fat and no worms till he starts to look better, now I know what is going on I can really see how flabby he is!
