[QUOTE="Farmgirl, post: 750198, member: 832"] We have had cows with things like that before. Last one hubby used a sharp pocket knife and opened it up toward the bottom so it could drain. It probably will get well without treatment but will take longer than if you open it up. We talked to our vet about it. Said there is no need to give antibiotics because the body walls off the diseased area. Also, in our case the stuff in the knot was way too thick to draw through a needle. A knife was the only way to get a large enough opening to get the gross stuff out. A forewarning, stuff probably stinks to high heaven and when you open it up there may be pressure, so it may shoot out everywhere. Ours did. Good luck, Farmgirl [/QUOTE]
