Had to lance several that were the size of a soccer ball. When they erupt with chunks of solid gunk, puss and blood, it'll send you running for fresh air PDQ. sick

Calves that have died inside the cow, but have to be removed are no walk in the park either... They usually come out in decomposed pieces.

I have the record at my vet clinic. About a year ago a client brought in a mature bull with a "swollen shoulder and brisket"

Abscess, right at 11 gallons of cream with a few chunks drained from it. With just a little blood added, It looked like tapioca pudding with a strawberry sauce garnish


Always drink upstream from the herd...cowdoc...
