First of all good luck to all of you who are in the midst of lambing. I know it's a lovely time of the year when all goes well and a very sad and frustrating time when things don't go well. But this forum is brilliant to share your troubles. problems and celebrate your triumphs!
I've just got a question to ask that's not related to lambing at all.... one of my ewes has a squashy lump on the back of her neck. It's about 4cm by 3cm. It isn't causing her any pain and there's no 'head' on it. I've had one of my other ewes with something similar but that got a head on it, which I squeezed, pus came out and I then bathed it with salt water and it was better in no time. I'm just wondering if I should burst this one. It would mean using a needle I think. Or should I just leave it and see if a head develops or if it goes on its own?
Thank you for any advice.
