definitely take him to a good ig vet and have it checked out ... iZ suddenly developed a little bump on his jaw + a (not good) vet said it was nothing, don't worry about it ... iZ had chomped something in his room + broke a tooth + we thought the bump was from that ... it may have been, but my point to this rambling is ... i believe that even tho the bump didn't get bigger or spread, it was the cause of all iZ's kidney problems ... an untreated infection that spread throughout his body + damaged his kidneys ... he very nearly died ...
get to a good IG vet and don't try to 2nd guess ... much better safe than sorry!!
bobs + best wishes!
