My baby, the same as above, Freckles, got kicked in the rump by one of the big horses. He has a pone the size of a C cup boob on his butt. I stuck an 18 ga needle in it and it looked like a cup of red/clear fluid drained out 2 days ago,but it is as full as ever and not absorbing. It was looser, but it looks like it filled back up. What should I do?

I don’t know that there’s anything you CAN do. It’s just a bad bruise and it’s just going to take time to heal. Some hot compresses might help, but I can just see you standing out there trying to hold them on a horse’s butt. I can’t believe he actually let you stick a needle in it without kicking your lights out!

Boy I don’t know what to do with the baby - maybe hot compress or icthamal which is a drawing agent I believe. Seems like it would just go away by itself.

You know... Bay had one of those once... I big boob right on his side. Vet came out, nothing he wanted to do... said it would just reabsorb, and gravity may make it sink down... for Bay, it sank down under his belly and seemed like it was there forever but it did reabsorb in a few weeks.

For yours, it may sink down his leg, or wherever the lowest point is it can go.
