[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1452091, member: 24027"] Had a heifer calf with a similar lump with what looked like a head or pimple. Benign neglect, eventually it popped (naaaaasty!). I would squeeze residual puss a couple times a day and pack it with Neosporin. That was 7 months ago and today you can't even see or feel a scar. Had one on a calf years ago that I wasn't able to catch and it did burst but without treatment she still has a hard scar (not visible). Only time I take them in to get an abscess lanced is if there's doubt whether it's lumpy jaw (sodium iodide IV) or in a weird place. Side note: had a cow with a huge abscess years ago & took her to the vet. They already had a cow inside so used the outside chute. Incredibly windy day, prob 40 mph. Just as the vet lanced the abscess, which burst like a pinata, my husband yawned. And he was down-wind. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! And yet I couldn't stop laughing. [/QUOTE]
