Growth above eye

[Taylor99]

I have a 12 week old BCM who has a small growth developing under eye. Could this be an abscess or? Also the tips of the comb are turning black. What could that be?

You should feel it and see if feels like there is liquid inside and pop it and apply antibiotic cream to it and is should be fine

It should be fine

It could be a cyst or an abscess. How long has it been there, and has it grown any? Is it hard or soft? You could try disinfecting the lump and lance it, and try to squeeze out any solid pus. The comb tips could be dark from brushing against wire fencing or pecking.

Thank you all! It hasn’t been there for more than a week. It definitely feels soft so I will give that a go!

Let us know what you get out of it, solid pus, blood, etc. There could also be an ingrown feather inside.
