[Jacob-list] swollen jaw maybe from poison?

[james robey]

Hi,

I have a lilac ewe about four years old that got bit or ate something so her jaw swelled up really bad.  I first thought bottle jaw and worms but she was wormed a week before and had firm feces.  A day later her face swelled more as did her right eye.  I separated her in her own shed so she wouldn't get bumped and made sure she got water through a syringe.  She lost some weight but ate most of the grain and hay given to her.  Now two weeks later she has still a hard lump under her jaw but is back with the flock eating.  Have any of you experienced this?  If so please let me know.

Thanks,
Morgan Robey
