Wow. Anxious to hear the outcome of your vet visit!

Sorry to all for the wait.

The vet wasn't 100% certain on what caused the growth - other than it is indeed a growth and not something stuck to her bill. He said it was 'very likely bacterial' and attacked an internal layer in her bill with the growth a response to that infection. He further suggested some sort of damage (scratch, bite, other) making those areas of the bill more susceptible to infection. He prescribed an antibacterial agent. 14 days. Fingers crossed.

Of note, I asked about the tumeric suggestion. He thought it a solid home remedy for smaller issues but was glad I brought her in for him to have a look.

Where's Waldo now? Quack is out and about with her running partner (Chirp) trolling for grubs and bugs.
