I would say that the chances of it being CL are nil. More than likely he/she got a scratch/sticker or other foreign object in it and it got infected. CL exude can not normally be sucked out with a 16 ga needle as its extremely thick.

I wouldn't be using a needle any more as you could do more damage than good. Check the area very well to see if you can find what she has stuck in there. Keep it clean and fly free. Maybe put some neosporin on it to help fight infection.

checked over before thinking same thing could not find any injury. thinking maybe a spider bite? snake bite ? could not find any bite. she is set to go to freezer camp with the next batch. soon as freeze had room. she just does not produce the babies or milk like I want and very hard to milk very small teats very little milk lots of feed. Guess should check back teeth maybe upper tooth abbess ?

I'm guessing a bite or sting unless there's a pic that gives more info.

I'd give her a Benedryl and watch it for three days.
