abscess in tail web? *UPDATE 7/19*

[Jupiter]

So I'm really worried. I was bathing my goaties today..I think they got mites and they have been loosing hair. My boy had a hairless lump on the tail webbing area. I was looking closer and thought "what IS that?" when I tried to part the hair, it ruptured and was a thick yellowish gunk that left a pocket behind when I cleaned it off. I tried to save some of the yuckyness, but most got mushed into the hair.

Does CL show up as a lump on the tail web? No other lumps I can fine anywhere.......

Probably not CL.

Oh thank god! I will be testing anyway, but I can take a breath now and maybe my nausea can go away. Just need a helper and enough nerve to do a blood draw myself.

He's CL positive . I'm euthanizing him today. I really really love this guy, but he has to go before he infects anyone. The rest of my goats are negative.
