[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 59810, member: 1026"] Sounds like an abscess, but you didn't describe the discharge. Frankly, an abscess usually has a stench which can knock you off your feet. Even a dirty needle can cause one, so anything which penetrates the skin is suspect--barbed wire can definitely do this. If it is an abscess, the heifer will have much less swelling, but requires antibiotics if she isn't already getting them. I also usually flush and debride the abscess to remove all necrotic tissue. Good Luck V [/QUOTE]
