Help! Lump on keel bone!

[Wolfefarmyard]

Sorry, I didn’t go back and read the earlier part of your thread about it being in the chest. Is that all of the fluid that would come out, and how much did you get? Was it thick or thin? I am going to tag a few other people for their thoughts— @casportpony @Wyorp Rock @dawg53 can you help?

Yes, that’s about all that came out (about 2 cc) and the lump went down quite considerably. It was a medium consistency. It wasn’t thick by any means but it also wasn’t thin like water, it had a slight gel texture.

That looks like infection.

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Maybe a fluid-filled cyst or breast blister?
Does he lay down a lot?

Okay, since I did draw some fluid out, I did give him an injection of duramycin. Should I continue that?

I really wanted tylan 50 but no stores had that, so I got what I could.

How would you feel about lancing it?

Thats the first thing I thought, maybe a cyst.

He doesn’t lay down a whole lot, but I only got him a month ago from a breeder, and he already had this.

Im not too sure, since I already pulled out all the fluid that was in there...

I guess you could wait and see if it fills up again.

I guess you could wait and see if it fills up again.

I guess so, do you suggest continuing antibiotics?

 

[Wolfefarmyard]

Okay, so I just talked to the breeder and got news!

I mentioned the lump and he said that they have a tendency to not roost and get breast blisters! So I guess I finally have answer!

Can you treat breast blisters, and if so how?
