If he has liver issues it would not be surprising for him to develop a lipoma, they are not always just under the skin. I would increase his milk thistle or even look into the other liver supplements that others have been given to try over the years. Sorry, can’t recall what they are but I seem to remember that Ira might have been using something at one stage, sweetpea also. They may be prescription-only, I don’t know. There isn’t much info to go on, I don’t know what else to suggest. I got liquid L-Carnitine for Thomas which used to be available at Holland & Barrett, though a quick look now & they don't have it. I also have Nutramarin+ capsules that you sprinkle on food. Supposed to be similar to the milk thistle tincture but faster acting. Not sure if prescription only - a quick google & it seems it's only stocked by vets, although it's possible it still doesn't need a prescription. I hope Max feels better soon. Agree to NOT take him to the vet in this heat. Ooh, liquid. I have the tablets and have to crush and sprinkle them on the food.

I also use dandelion root drops from Iherb just like the milk thistle same brand but I put just one drop instead of 3 It’s helping
i also got organic dried dandelion root and put some on her seeds every other day the other day I put organic strengthened turmeric powder (no smell because strengthened) I open the capsule and sprinkle some on her daily seeds on a small plate (alternate Between the two powders) but the liquids are daily (milk thistle, ACV, dandelion root drop)
so sorry to hear about the lump hopefully it’s nothing and doesn’t effect his life

I’m so sorry to come on and find Max is still not right and now the addition of a lump. However, he’s lucky to be looked after you Marianne Marlow who can make sensible decisions on his behalf and have some good advice for knowledgeable and other forum members who have had experience of similar issues. I really hope he continues to sing and show he is still enjoying his life and that his tummy settles. I have to agree that travelling anywhere in this heat is not worth contemplating and whilst you are happy to trust your instinct, give him the chance he deserves to have as long as life as he can. Sadly I have found many vets don’t particularly value the life of small animals in the same way we do. That is a lovely photo of him by the mirror.

Awwww, he trusts you again, Marianne!
And Max cannot believe that he located a budgie almost as handsome as he is, stuck in that odd little swinging box.
