I have a 7 month old pygmy wether that appears to have cracked his horn today. He was disbudded as a baby but grew a small nub on his right side. I noticed his white fur was a little red by his nub so I felt it and it felt like the nub was laying down rather than standing up. The nub is probably a half inch tall. He didn't seem to be bothered at all when I touched it and there isn't much blood, just enough to color the white fur. From what I could tell the blood was all dry. Any suggestions on what to do? Vet? Shots? Medication? Leave it alone?

Thanks!

Should be okay. I had a buck who would knock off his little scur from time to time and it would bleed a bit, but always cleared up after a few days.
