[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1593768, member: 24947"] Lump jaw and bottle jaw are two different things.lump jaw has nothing to do with flukes. We see lots of lump jaw in pasture with lots of prickly pear and mesquite. Soft tissue lump jaw is caused by bacteria getting in through a cut or scratch in the mouth. We used to Lance and flush, but sometimes it comes back or spreads. Imo the best treatment is don't do a dam thing. Let come to a head and drain on its own. Bony lump jaw is much less common and I doubt it's your problem. If it is cull immediately. To tell the difference simply grab the knot with your hand and see if it's attached to bone or moves around freely. Used to have a deer running around here named lump jaw. Farm Fence shot her while hunting my favorite stand.... [/QUOTE]
