How do you treat an abscess that has erupted on your cattle?

Depending on where and how large the abscess is, you can normally treat it with some warm water and iodine. Use a sponge to clean the wound, you should do this everyday. If the animal is not other wise sick or the wound is not infected than this alone should be ok. If the wound is infected, penicillin should be administered, if you are unaware about administration, your best bet is to call your veterinarian.
