Hello

 

I haven't been on here for a while, so as an update Kimba was found at a pub during last summer as a baby.

 

She has always been a lot bigger than my boys but I have noticed that her exta weight is increasing in her chest area. During the evenings she will have a play on the gym on the top of the cage but has started to lay on her belly, and will even fall asleep like this. Tonight I noticed that she was laying on her perch. She is generally a very active (and destructive) girl.

 

I am going to book her into the vet's but it would be great to her what people's opinions so I am prepared.

 

Here are some photos I took tonight.

 

 

 

 

Hi Tam,

 

Sorry I can't help, but glad your off to the vet, keep us updated.

She may have a fatty cysts on her chest. Its fairly common.

Thanks Kaz. Is this something that is treatable? Is it life threatening?

I am not sure....the ones I had with the issue were old so I could not say.

I do believe they can give them medicine to help decrease the size but not eliminate, let us know what happens.

Hmmm...thanks Kaz. I will see what the vet has to say then. From looking at the photos, do you think she looks abnormal in her chest area?

Thanks Elly - I will update after I go to the Vet.
