[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1593809, member: 27059"] Last fall my Jersey heifer got a lump on her jaw. It was hard and grew bigger. Not bothering her to eat. Then I could feel a soft spot. I took a brand new carpet knife and sliced into the lump. Puss shot out 2 feet. Smelled bad enough I almost vomited. I flushed it out with diluted chlorhexidine. It healed right up and is gone. I think she just got a sticker or piece of hay stuck in there and it abcessed. The lump jaw involving the bone usually wont drain. The bone starts disintegrating. it is unlikely he will recover if he has that. The fact his drains makes me think he doesn't have that. I would drain it. Flush it, give banamine to reduce inflammation, give excenel to kill infection. If you have a chute, you can do it yourself way cheaper than the vet charges. [/QUOTE]
