[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13478"] Sounds like a pocket of infection - possibly from a piece of hay or stick that punctured the inside of his mouth. You can leave it alone & it should rupture & drain by itself, or you can catch him & see if it has puss in it (insert a needle & draw out any liquid) - if it is infected, you can cut a hole triangle shaped on the bottom of the lump deep enough so that it will drain. Flush it out with an antibiotic & spray blu-Kote on it or something to keep blow-flies away. Watch closely, whether it ruptures on its own or you lance it, for maggots.
