I purchased a goat recently that has no horns. Most of my herd has horns and they are a bit mean to her (she's the new kid in school). After a few days she developed a lump on her cheek. I initially thought it was cud retention or she took a horn to the face because it went away after a few days. Now her eye is a bit swollen and she has another lump on the other cheek that ruptured last night. The lumps have been far forward so I don't believe it is CL (not a typical CL location). I'm going to give her some PCN today to be safe. My question is, if the lump was a result of fighting would it rupture? Or is this an abscess of some sort? I know its hard to say. She exhibits no other signs of being sick. She is active, fat, and generally very healthy looking.
