My goat has a little bump on her nose

[Sabrinaadler18]

Hi so my goat has this little bump on her nose that appeared about 1 1/2 weeks ago and ive been keeping and eye on it, shes eating and drinking normally but i wanted to see if anyone knew what it might be and if their is any treatments for her?

That reminds me of human skin cancer I've seen on loved ones and not something I've seen on a goat. Can you get it looked at by a vet? I'm not sure what else it could be.

She's got a black rather than white or pink snoot though, so I'm hoping I'm wrong.

I've never seen anything quite like that .... I second having it looked at by a vet. If you do have it examined please let us know. We can all learn from each other.

Oh - welcome to the forum!

I second the welcome. Is she vaccinated for cae? That looks a little like goat herpes to me. I’ve never dealt with it personally, but maybe? It might be a tumor? I would put a little frankincense on it, personally. Perhaps fungal, which would be my last guess but I figured I’d throw it out there just because.

Thank you for the response, i think i will just have to call the vet and let you all know!

I'm wondering if it's not a small abscess caused by a thorn or some other prickly thing? The location has me thinking this could be the issue.
