Have a steer that I noticed a few days back, with a swollen beak and some dribble issues
So, I called a local vet out for a diagnosis, as I've seen plenty of abscesses and this didn't really look like one to me!
We took a tissue sample for lab testing, and it is Wooden Tongue.
Just thought I'd share, for the interest of those out there (like myself) that like a school day now and then
Will keep you posted on how he recovers, is almost a year old and 340kg on the hoof. He's still eating fine, I put him back inside just to make it a little easier to corner him.
