There is a big bump on my pygmy goat bucks hind end. It is right below the tail on the side . .what can i do to get rid of it?
 
Was he given an injection in that area in the last few months? Sometimes injections will leave a small, hard lump that stays around for several weeks.
 
Sounds like it could be an abcess or a cyst, a picture would help.
 
i cant post a picture? Should i cut it open a little bit?
 
Do a search for CL (google or on this forum) and look at pics of CL lumps.

If you think it looks like that, I wouldn't cut it open anywhere near any other goats, and you'll need to isolate that goat until it's healed. If it IS CL, you will have to keep isolating it every time it gets a lump or it will spread to the others.
