I have had this blue linkia since February. A few months ago I noticed it was developing a small white spot on one of its legs. I didn't pay much attention to it since it is doing fine. There also was a lump that was growing under the skin over time. I came home today and saw that the lump was protruding form the skin and seemed to be some type of worm or parasite. Can someone tell me what it is, should I be worried, what can I do about it or what steps to take? I hope I am successful in attaching the picture so you can all see it.
