[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 217979, member: 1346"] Yes had a colt several years ago with it. We used warm compress on the area twice a day to bring it to a head. When it finally burst open it was like cottage cheese and smelled NASTY.... his was on teh back leg. I could fit both my fists in this hole. I'll double check with the neighbor but I think we mixed bacon grease and powdered sulfa together. I know it was powdered sulfa but I'll have to double check about the bacon grease. We cleaned it out everyday, a weak solution of warm water and betadine and then packed it and put vetwrap around it. Took quite a while for it to heal. I had a heifer do that last year but it was right at the navel, the vet opened it up and drained it and gave penicillin shot, long acting. We had to drain it twice more and my cow mentor would squirt LA200 in the area and she healed up within a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
