Bit of advice needed
A few month ago my yohei Sanke had a white cast just above its eye looked a bit like excess mucus ?after netting and having a better look I found it to have a small wart/cyst ,I them removed the cyst/wart thingy cleaned the wound and used some cauterising cream things seemed to be on the mend for a few weeks things were looking good
But over the last month this has just returned with a vengeance and looks like a full blown Tumour!!
I was about to cut it of today but thought I would seek a bit of advice first,the Thingy feels hard and looks a though it's full of blood
My coarse of action would be to cut it off clean well and cauterise to stop the blood? Any advise welcome by any one who has tackled any thing like this before would be much appreciated
Regards Baz

you could do with a cautery pen http://www.wms.co.uk/search/?KS=cautery pens&SF=Cauteries go for the thick medium tip

then its cut cauterise, cut cauterise, cut cauterise till its off, by doing it this way you will minimise the bleeding

Well thanks for the heads up regarding the cauterising pen Duncan it worked a treat
Got the tumour off this morning was easier than first expected and followed your advice Duncan cut a little cauterise cut a little cauterise went well and not as much blood as expected
The pen worked well although I did get the thick tipped one with me being heavy handed I did bend the nib (cauterising bit) a good bit of kit
All in all pleased with the results today
