Nodular Myxi

Can anyone shed any light on it please as in what it looks like:?

One of the babies that was found (from the rescue I'm doing) by one of the residents had a crusty lump on its head anyway when I went up yesterday I decided to pull the scabof to see what was underneath. No puss came out at that time but it has left a hole (if you know what I mean), also one of his eyes wasn't open properly not swollen just a little crusty so I bathed that and put fucithalmic in it and it stayed open. I have left the baby with the residents for obvious reasons:roll: and have given them baytril to give the baby until I see whether anymore lumps appear.

think I better take a trip to the vets to make sure.
Thank you for the pics it has helped alot:D
 
presumably if he was very young he wouldn't have been vaccinated therefore unlikely to get nodular mixi, more likely to get the full blown version...?????

perhaps syphalis?
 
well he is doing really well, very lively. he hasn't developed any more lumps with scabs on. One of the adult females I have picked up had similar sores and I haven taken her to the vets and it looks like syphillis, which wouldn't surprise me in the least with all the scooby doing they will have all been doing for the last 3months. We have put her on penicillin and will see how it goes, I forgot to ask my vet about giving the baby penicillin but I am a bit nervous of the risk with the baby and penicillin:?

JacksJane if you are reading this you will probably be able to tell me the risk (pleeeeeeeeease).

How old is the Baby ?
Personally I'd not want to risk Penicillin on a Baby under about 6 months unless my Vet insisted it was essential :? Not only because of the risks of gut dysbiosis but also because of the detrimental effect on bone developement :?

Unless the baby buns symptoms become more severe then we will not be giving it penicillin.
