I brought home a 3 week old Nubian doeling 4 days ago. The breeder dis-budded her in a kid box using an iron and the hair was shaved first. She received a CDT shot beforehand. Two days ago, I noticed the left side was a little leaky. I called the vet and they said a little leakage was normal as long as the fluid did not have a smell or look infected. I've been keeping it clean. Today, it seems like the start of an infection. It has a definite infected smell and the fluid is now crusty and she's uncomfortable with me touching it.
Her appetite and overall attitude is fine so far.
I've seen a lot of different opinions on handling an infection in the dis-budding site but I'm not sure what's best.
