Epidermal Inclusion Cyst
Has anyone's bird ever developed a cyst (like the ones we sometimes get on heads)? My 42 y/o B&G has developed under his left ceres. The vet said there's no point removing it because it would come back. It's filled with cheesy-looking skin cells, some fluid and blood. (My guy was quite a trooper when samples were taken!) On the way home, I was petting him and felt another cyst on his back between his wings. I got a bit of a look at it and it wasn't red/irritated like the one under his ceres...but yup..it was a cyst.
I've had dogs that develop cysts. But I was just wondering if anyone has had a bird with one. I'll keep a close eye on it, make sure if it ruptures, we get it cleaned up...keep it from getting scratches on the surface, ect...
Comments, anyone?
Thanks
