CL? Milk neck? Bottle neck?

[SavannahLeigh]

I posted this same post on BYC, but I wanted to give it a go here as well...


Hey y'all! I have a baby goat (about 4 weeks) with a lump in his neck. It's about quarter sized, and hard. Is the Milk neck? Bottle neck? CL?

How would he have gotten it? He is one of quadruplets and has seemed to not be getting enough milk...He is not being bottle fed.



Thanks!

Would be best to put up a picture.
This way we can see size and placement...

Is it a lump or a scab?
Looks like a small scab in the pic.
Can you get a close up now that we know where it is?
It is not a milk goiter, it is not bottle jaw.

I'll try to get a close up... But as i said, it's not very visible from the outside. Also, that's not a scab, just a mark on his skin (birth mark, if you will )

Okay, so the Vet is testing for CL... Keep you posted!

The vet drained it?

After blowing the pic up I could see the swelling. It does not look like CL.

A few pics would be better. Another side shot, front, and maybe an above shot.

The vet did drain it, yup

I don't have a camera right now... I'll try to post a pic tomorrow!
