Abstract:
A ten day old goat kid was presented with the history of swelling at the neck region since five days. On clinical examination, the temperature, pulse rate, heart rate and respiratory rate were in normal range. A soft swelling was evident at the left neck region. Fine needle aspiration using a 20G needle evidenced collection of pus within the cavity. The contents were then drained. Povidone Iodine solution was applied followed by administration of fluids, antibiotics and anti-histaminics for five days. The animal recovered uneventfully.
