My oranda had developed a lump on his head a couple of weeks back....the aquarium guy asked me to administer terramycin-250, which i did, and he healed....yesterday i found 2 new lumps on his wen.....i administered the medicine again, but this time he hasnt healed....he appears to be in no discomfort.....his appetite is as strong as ever.....though he seems a bit "drowsy" at times....what should i do??? the lumps look as if they may burst at any time..... :(

It is healing....although slowly....it didnt disappear overnight like the previous lump......

Why do such lumps appear???

The lump decreased a bit.....but it didnt heal completely....its a small lump now....and seems to be filled with pus (nasty...)
