Response to C.A.E.

Hi, Her abcess does not smell nor does it look like cottage cheese. It is usually kind of a combination of a watery milk ooze. I have treated it with anti-biotics (LA200) and flushed it with a hydrogen peroxide anti bacterial soap water mix and soaked it with hot water and epsom salts. I have been extremely careful regarding the touching of it, I use paper towels and burn them and bleach my hands afterwards as well. I have heard that there are only a few cases of internal abcesses recorded. Is this possibly like some kind of a pre-cancerous condition? My vet knows next to nothing about goats and I have been to two ther vets in the area and they don't know anymore. I have two very good goat books that I have consulted religiously, and have talked to a lady in nearby Bastrop who has hundreds of goats and she said that usually they will just develop an immunity to the virus that causes abcesses. Thanks for your help.
