[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 528303, member: 8202"] Wow, I just came in from feeding everyone (and torturing poor Bandit - the heifer - with more salve), and that lump is only half the size it was yesterday. What's up with that, do you think? Either the antibiotic herbs I had given her, or the wintergreen salve, or just nature taking its course? Still no soft spot anywhere on it, though. I had forgotten to answer Hillsdown's question about her appetite before - no problems there at all. She still eats voraciously, and appears to have no pain at all while chewing. Her behavior is completely normal in all respects. And about that vet - I've known way too many good vets for this bad one to color my perceptions in any way, except about her. She's useless as far as I'm concerned, but she's only one person. And about the sodium iodide... I TOLD them it wasn't Lumpy Jaw, so I don't know where they got the idea that sodium iodide would work for this. I guess it's a good thing she's pregnant so they didn't talk me into that. If it doesn't continue to go down and disappear, and actually does need to be lanced, can I just flush it with regular household 3% Hydrogen Peroxide? I have lots of that on hand. Otherwise I guess I could check at the vet supply store next time we go to the "Big City." LOL! ~Lannie [/QUOTE]
