Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice please. I went to feed my fire salamander tonight, and immediately noticed a bumb on the side of its head where the glands are. One he had finished eating the worm I gave, I lifted him out to inspect. As soon as I did, the bumb started to ooze(drip) a bit of white liquid, I'm assuming puss. I lightly squeezed( very gently of course!) The area and more puss, as well as a bit of blood came out. I wiped up whatever came out, and tried to drain a bit more without hurting the animal. I then applied a layer of polysporin( neosporin) -minus the pain reliever, to the area. I have since placed him on a paper down quarantine tank in the fridge.
I noticed on the illness article with pictures, there was a photo posted that showed a similar case with a Taricha with the same type of abcess on the gland. Any suggestions for me?
Any impute is appreciated, and I will try to post a picture tomorrow.
Thank you.
