Important * I found a lump on my goos head

[moletteuk]

I'm a bit concerned that the area affected looks quite large, especially as it is on his face where there isn't much spare skin. If it is getting worse I would get it looked at by a vet.

That's been on my mind as well. I second Moletteuks advice to see a vet.

The thing is I can't see a lump at all but I can feel it his skin still feels soft and groomed but because the hair is growing back so thick I cannot see a thing I was honestly thinking it could be like a hair cyst or something because it hasn't grown and it doesn't bother him what's so ever he still is happy and him I check on it all the time and nothing has changed but his hair has grown rapidly because when I first posted this it was only really short

sorry didn't see the last two comments and u get what u means that's why I'm worried but in all honesty it looks a little bigger because I spread his fur out shall I post a picture without his fur spread to give a better representation?

If it's still getting worse take him to the vet. Is this the aggressive degu? If so, you could pick up a couple of diabetes test strips while you are there.

Do post another photo if you would like, we will certainly take a look, I think seeing the skin might help.

Yeah that is him the aggressive one😂 I don't think he would because I only give them pellets and oats but I'll do that anyway will be handy to have because of my friends degu.. She doesn't treat them right I'm trying to get her parents to give them to me

It's gone down a lot now and doesn't look like it'll come back up anytime soon
