[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 938106, member: 8629"] I would say hematoma/deep bruise too, as if she got stuck under something. Used to see it alot in cows that jammed themselves under the the divider trying to crawl though a head-to-head freestall. Might not be any free blood, just tissue swelling. She very well may have fractured a spinous process or two as well. Unless it becomes infected it will heal. If you continue to aspirate it make sure you are doing it sterilely as otherwise you are introducing bacteria into an area of low blood circulation and high protein = infection. That swelling is just like a petri dish. [/QUOTE]
