Abscesses

I noticed this abscess on Ram1 last week.
Then a day or two later, I noticed this lump on the side of his mother's nose.
The abscess above Ram1's eye opened up soon after I took these pictures. It was all pus and blood. I saved a sample of the pus for in case the vet wants to run a culture but it will have been in the fridge for 3 days so I'm not sure they will be able to culture it. Of course I am worried about caseous lymphadenitis but the location of these abscesses seems all wrong for CL from everything I've read. The vet is coming on Wednesday and we'll see what they think. We are due for hoof trimming anyway.
