I have a tame yearling buck that has had a lump on his pedicle , it makes the pedicle appear almost twice the size as the other side. it is not getting any bigger it just appeared this size and has stayed this size but it has been a month, maybe more, since it appeared and its not going away. It appeared shortly after he hit the base of his anler on a board that suppports the feeder. I thought it was just a knot from the impact that would go away on its own. The lump is as hard as bone, it does not feel fluid filled. Also, I just noticed he just now started a little lump on the jaw on the same side as the pedicle, it also feels hard, like there is no fluid. It is only this size of a dime, or smaller, in diameter. Anyway I do not want to tranq him yet as he is still growing antler, but I do want to deliver the drug with a dart, what would be best to use? Draxin? Do i give it for several weeks? how much would you recommend? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
