I’ve worked with sheep for awhile and Ive never really seen something like this. This is one of our new bottle lambs and I noticed he was favoring his one foot when we brought him home. The next morning I could immediatly see his foot was swollen and that there is some kind of ball between his toes. To me it looks like an abcess and feels like its filled with fluid but other then lancing it I dont know where to start. I haven’t touched the injury besides examining him but it seems to have grown signifigantly. I also dont have the right tools on hand for draining it if I need too. Any ideas on what to do? Im trying to avoid the vet if I can.
