Just noticed this today! Any ideas? I wiped away some crusty areas and skin seemed a little raw. He is one month old and seems healthy otherwise. Dam raised. We have an appointment next week at the vet. Just wondering if anyone’s seen anything like this.
Is he with other kids with horns? Are they doing a lot of fooling around, head bashing, mounting etc? It may be a bruise. Put some Preperation H hemorrhoid ointment on it, maybe it will go down. (or ice it for awhile- frozen bag of peas in a cloth).
He's the only baby and they're all disbudded. He does get pushed around a bit. I've never seen anything like it ♀ thanks for your reply, maybe we'll try to ice it
Looks like possible staph infection. I'd clean it and put chlorhexidine on it twice a day.
