Goat Lumps

Part of last week's bad news was that Pansy's lump had not already burst like the vet thought. It burst on me. Think...a grape...no, a muscadine, filled with thick disgusting pus. Now, think of it popping and splattering on you. Do you feel like retching? Yeah. That's the feeling.

Thank goodness it did not get on my skin. It splatted on my jeans and I could not get those pants off fast enough.

So, as soon as the abscess bursts, it's contagious. Now Hyacinth and Billy have been exposed to CL abscess. Great.

Lesson reinforced...do not buy a goat of undetermined origin. Especially do not buy a goat that has a visible funky lump.
