[Jacob-list] Lump under chin on ram

[CARL FOSBRINK]

Matthew,
   
     It looks like bottle jaw to me, which can happen this time of year due to heavy worm infestation. I would worm him right away or at least check a fecal sample for worms. A lot of sheep and goats are developing a resistance to the wormers we have on the market so even if they were wormed they could still have worms.

          Hi all,
  We just gave someone a ram lamb last night, and when we went to catch him, we discovered a lump underneath his jaw.  It isn't hard, it's has a kind of water baloon feel to it.  Here's a link to some pictures: http://youandyouroilthing.blogspot.com/2007/09/aarons-lump.html
  (It's not my website, but the blog of the new owner of the ram.)
  Any idea as to what this is, and what to do about it?
