[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 581513, member: 6198"] Before you lance, Head gate her and open her mouth. check for something puncturing the mouth. Flush with a light tea solution of iodine and warm water. Watch your fingers. We have had best luck with the nose clasp thing and tied up ward. next to find out if it is lumpy jaw, run both hands down each side of the jaw at the same time...place you hand in such a way as to cup both bones at the same time and run your hand along and feel if there is a difference in bone thinkness, you will have to apply pressure.. Hard to explaine but you want to test both sides at the same time to feel for swelling. If the bone is swollen it's lumpy jaw. Bad luck if it's in the bone and hard to treat...if it's in the bone there is little chance for recovery. You want to lance the lump then find a soft spot cause that is where the puss would be. Talk to your vet about treatment,. This could be swelling from a bug bite . [/QUOTE]
