Posted here awhile ago asking about my doe who had a swollen face. Well it turned into a giant abscess and eventually fell off and was super gross. She has been in quarantine ever since. Then disaster struck. The doe in the cage next to her developed 3-4 abscesses. She was bred before the first...
I doubt it was a bee sting since this happened in the middle of winter here in Maryland but I will take a look at her this morning when I get over there and check out her mouth and see if there is anything obvious.
