However - no pus is a good sign, blood means a clean wound. Rinse, rinse, rinse and hope for the best!<br /><br />(Definitely not CL - there'd be all kinds of white guck.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892085037131749502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-12180397316165972942011-06-14T14:53:31.420-07:002011-06-14T14:53:31.420-07:00i blew the picture up and yes Aimee it looks like ...i blew the picture up and yes Aimee it looks like it may have already made its way out..i would just treat it as a wound of any other and see how it goes if the vet doesnt seem to be overly worried.dillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756088975005738743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-5174442546016445482011-06-14T12:57:45.423-07:002011-06-14T12:57:45.423-07:00Its not in aplace common for CL abcesses at that i...Its not in aplace common for CL abcesses at that is in Lymph node areas and they will have a cheesy stuff. It could have been a splinter that go infected and then ruptured. I would spray it with iodine for a few days and see if that changes anything. As nasty as it looks I bet its nothing serious..Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223141257252367520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-16160426241347164062011-06-14T12:54:37.511-07:002011-06-14T12:54:37.511-07:00CL is what I'm worried about, of course - but ...CL is what I'm worried about, of course - but it doesn't look like any CL I've seen photos of before. For one thing, it's not near any lymph nodes (I don't think - certainly not on any of the high frequency spots). <br />Also she tested negative when I bought her, and other goats I brought into the herd were also tested or from closed herds. I know that's not a guarantee - and I have had a couple of untested bucks on the place now and then. I am definitely having all the goats tested again.<br /><br />Dilli - a WOLF? Holy crap. I dug around in there pretty good and didn't see anything in the wound at all, but maybe it's already gone?Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-46701675244702913962011-06-14T12:32:44.924-07:002011-06-14T12:32:44.924-07:00Aimee, that could be, but I hope it isn't, CL ...Aimee, that could be, but I hope it isn't, CL (caseous lymphadenitis). Really flipping serious shit. You need to isolate her as soon as possible or all your goats may get it.<br /><br />I hope you hear back from the vet tout suite.<br /><br />http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/U/UNP-0085/elhttp://fastgrowtheweeds.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-9690547669373172362011-06-14T12:02:56.332-07:002011-06-14T12:02:56.332-07:00looks like what we call a wolf here.. can you see...looks like what we call a wolf here.. can you see something really gross in the hole? looks sorta like it is breathing but looks like a grub? if it is that what you have... take two spoons that you never wanna use again and pop it out. treat it with antibiotic and it should heal fine.. if i had to guess what it is thats my guess.. you wont notice anything but an odd lump if at all until they start to make their way out and this is what they open up and look like.. grosser than this is when humans get themdillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756088975005738743noreply@blogger.com
