Sorry, my C is sticky. It's supposed to be cheat grass. It's a grass seed known for getting under the skin and causing abscesses. Normally they heal alright. Is the wound festered? Sometimes the sticker will come out with the pus.

It could be a non typical sore mouth but, it doesn't really look like it to me.

Yep, that's exactly it, different strains. The sore mouth vaccine doesn't prevent them from getting it anyway...It gives it to them on purpose, but only one strain of it.
The sore mouth is in the ground of your property. It can live there for many years in our climate. When I got into breeding again after a break I opened a building that had been shut up for 8 years...Guess what, the sore mouth from the bummer lambs I used to raise in there was still active.
