[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 528501, member: 8202"] Thanks, Scrubs. The "myco" in the name threw me, too, and I naturally assumed it was a fungus. That article, when it said fungus, just confirmed what I thought, so I hadn't looked any further at the time. The lump is much smaller now, and ever so slightly flatter. It's still hard. It's not over the bone anymore. If she stretches her head up (so I can scritch her under the chin), it sits right in the cervical groove (do they call it that on cows, too?) just behind her jaw, and it's slightly moveable. It's still hard, though. So it's not involved in the bone at all - it's in the soft tissue for sure. I originally thought it was a hematoma, but in the first few days it got bigger, then smaller, then bigger again, so I don't think it's that, either. Plus it moved backward. First it was flat on her cheekbone, then it got rounder and moved back behind the bone. I suppose it's possible it could be a hematoma, but I've never seen one that behaved like this. 'Course, I've never had a cow before, maybe that's it. It seems like she [i]looks [/i]for trouble to get into. ;-) ~Lannie [/QUOTE]
