Gary, just a question..I remember months back, we had a neubian that had an abcess on throat. I took a pic of it, and posted it here on goatworld, and I thought someone told me that a CL abscess is very deep, another words, you cannot grab it and it moves around, where a CL Abscess is kinda stuck almost to the bone or muscle..Do you know what I mean?
We wound up getting rid of her, She came to us with the abscess, Mike bought her at a sale, only because he felt bad for the owners. They had twins, and one sold but she did not..So the woman was all upset so he bought her..We sold her like 2 weeks after we got her.
Justine.....Goatmom is the pro at lancing abscesses..she is the one who gave me step by steps, althought I never did do it. One thing you have to be careful of..Wear rubber gloves, and burn everything that the contents gets on..and watch your shoes, just incase it is CL.
