Hey there. From the pictures I can't really tell what that is exactly. In general with cattle I start with penicillin and add on as needed. They will probably need to flush the area as well. You can also get some diluted iodine to pour on in the meantime. Make sure you put on some fly spray so it isn't getting parasites in the wound. Hope this helps you.

It does sound as if your cow may have something stuck in her mouth or throat. If you’re able to gently feel around in her mouth with your hand it may be a good idea. If this is unsuccessful you probably need to contact a veterinarian to come out and have a look at her. Other things that can cause abnormal Swallowing/choking in a cow besides a foreign body include toxin ingestion and possibly a neurologic disorder. These are more serious and hopefully it’s not what’s going on. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

The most common cause of coughing in cattle is known as shipping fever (though it doesn't have to happen with shipping), a disease process commonly occurring with cows that have undergone more stress than usual. There are two organisms that can commonly be responsible for this disease, both of which will require an antibiotic to treat. If you go to a farming store to obtain antibiotics, you should look for one that is labeled for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease, specifically against Manheimia and Pasturella. Hope this helps.

There isn't much you can do. Due to the chambered stomach, it may stay in the there for a long time and cause no issue, pass out into the stomach and out in feces, or it may get stuck. If Queen starts having a decreased appetite or acts ill in any way, you can try giving her mineral oil to lubricate the GI tract, but if she is off her feed for longer than 24 hours or there aren't any feces produced, she should be evaluated by a vet.

That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
