I took spike in today to the doctor! It was said to be a cyst/abscess! They numbed him up, yes a needled to his jaw, I had to walk out cause I felt like I was going to faint and go down, thinking he'd scream/cry! They finished I walked back in and was horrified what the pulled out of his jaw, it was a hard mass! I explained what I was doing for Spike on a daily basis and the doctor didn't seem to concerned so what I was doing, didn't cause this! He told me that it could of been a cricket that when he was eating it, stabbed him in the jaw in which caused an infection! I couldn't believe the size of what was taken out, they took it out from the outside which now he has a hole on the outside of his jaw and he looked inside his mouth and found more!!! And took that out with a q tip! He seems to be sleeping a lot, and I noticed on that side his eye is swollen (it wasn't before), I am thinking that's due to the shot and the picking to get the abscess out! I hope he will be okay, just don't like the way he looks, he totally has a hole in his jaw from where they took it out!
HERE IS A PICTURE OF AFTER :
They did give antibiotic and told me to give him bee moth/baby crickets cause they are soft and manageable for him to eat easily. On another note, he said he was pretty healthy, a little under weight and told me to feed him beemoth worms, they're high in protein and would pack some weight on!
I don't know what to think about him now, he looks absolutely HORRIBLE! His eye is swollen too!
