[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 217183, member: 2258"] I would advise gettin the calf somewhere you can confine it (chute) or whatever means you have, if it's an abcess its not somethin to just "let go" or "let it get better on it's own" any abcess on or near the head can cause major trouble, since the abcess increasingly gets bigger as time progresses, the fluid (puss) can get into the lining of their brain. Then you have a dead calf on you hands perdy darn quick. Same goes with people abcesses. Worked for a dental office too long to let those sorta things wait (or hope they get better) Lance it at the lower side, flush with iodine/water solution, and give a shot of Penn or some type of antibiotic.
