Help!. My green severum is very sick. He has white "fleshy" puss in his face. It seriously looks like somebody injected him in the face with something. It is coming out of his nose and his mouth and face is swollen to 3 times its normal size. I will have pictures in a few hours when i can pick them up from the pharmacy. Anyone know what it could be? Please help!

It looks like one of the variants of mouth fungus (actually a bacterial infection caused by columnaris), try furan, Furanase, Triple Sulfa, or acriflavine. All have a good record in treating this. If you can't find them locally try Bigalsonline.com.
 
so what did the vet say?
 
Keep us posted please.
