tumor on my goat's nose- help!

my goat has what looks to be a tumor on her nose. what is this? will the vet be able to remove it or do you think this is fatal? I am so sad and hope she will be ok.

I agree, post a picture. It could very well be a piece of hay or something stuck and it has festered up to a pus pocket. I had a goat wit hone of those. I took a scalpel and opened it up and the yuck that cam out was so nasty.

How long has it been there?? Did it appear overnight or grow slowly. I agree, a pic would be great.
It could be one of any number of things. This is a perfect time of year for staph and sometimes goats can get a huge staph pimple on the end of their nose.

I tried to get a pic up but my computer is not letting me upload atm. ugh!

yes I do think it is something stuck. when I went to take the pic it is half gone! gross! (there's still a teeny tiny bit stuck) it happened overnight.. and looks like crap or dirt..no rawness or anything where it fell off so I think it was just some yuckies stuck in there??? It really looked awful this morning whatever it is!

anyway I will post a pic as soon as I can!
