Thought perhaps you guys could shed some insight on an issue I'm having with a junior doe I've got.
About a week ago I noticed she had a small bump about half an inch below the front corner of her eye. Maybe half the size of a dime.
It was crusty and pretty solid feeling. I came off quite easily, with a bit plasma/pus under it and was red and irritated but no longer raised. I cleaned it up and put some triple antibiotic ointment on it. It seemed to be healing for a few days, but once again it has raised up and become crusty. I cleaned it off again today, but now it has got me wondering.
It really reminds me of rain rot on a horse...the scabbing has the same type of appearance and texture, and sloughs off in the same manner. So I'm wondering if maybe if is fungal in nature?
Other than this she's perfectly healthy, eats well, no nasal discharge or conjunctivitis. It really doesn't even seem to bother her, but it's bugging me!
Anyone know what it might be?
