[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1593746, member: 13050"] There are two types of Lumpy jaw, one where bacteria infects the soft tissue of the mouth and the other the bone. It would seem like your bull has the more serious infection...in his jaw bone. Follow your vet's recommended treatment, it's difficult to get rid of but the fact that you have been able to drain it is good. A couple of good syringe squirts of peroxide into the abscess cleans the puss out nicely should it be necessary to drain again. That's if you want to preserver and and take a chance BUT...consider the following first - Is he losing condition? Have you managed to check in his mouth for further infections, loose teeth, ulcerations etc? If he's losing weight, send him to the butcher sooner than later, they go down hill fast. [/QUOTE]
