Re: [AlpacaTalk] hard lump on lower lip

 

My first though is bee, wasp, or hornet stings, too. Definitely keep an eye on it. We had a girl develop an enormous abscess on her cheek and jaw literally overnight, and all we can think of is that she was stung by something. She was normal one day, the next morning her check was the size of a grapefruit.


Really gross, and required flushing and draining every day until it was healed.

get a feel - very hard, not hot. She is chewing her cud and grazing.

Any ideas what it might be? and what I should do?

Janice,
 
Do you suppose it could be a bee sting??  They can get pretty hard sometimes.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] hard lump on lower lip

 

Do you have wasps around?  I had on get stung  on the lower eye lid.  ( I could see the sting mark) It was so bad,  hard puffed up, but it didn't seem to bother the alpaca.  The next morning when I was ready to call the vet.  I went out  to check him out, and it was down and all normal--thank heavens! Just a thought.
