A 1-year-old Green iguana (Iguana iguana) was brought to the clinic with a complaint of a slowly growing mass on the left mandible and symptoms of weakness and loss of appetite for several weeks. The clinical examination noted that the mass was quite firm, invasive to the region, and had a necrotic appearance. It was removed by surgical operation and sent to the laboratory for investigation. In the microbiological evaluation, Citrobacter freundii was isolated and identified very intensely. According to the laboratory results, enrofloxacin was chosen as the broad-spectrum antibiotic and used for 1 week.
