My friend owns a couple of terrapins and apparently, one had a growth on its neck recently, which my friend suspects is a tumour? Does anyone have any idea if it's really a tumor or not, and whether there is any remedy for such a issue? Below are 2 links to pictures of the terrapin in question:

That is what is called an 'Ear Abscess' and requires a vet to open, drain, and administer antibiotics.
