No milk coming out of udder, fairly hard

So her temp was 102.9 and then 102.7; one taken yesterday, one today. I went ahead with the Today treatment but continued to massage which surprisingly she doesn't mind me doing. She was content to munch on hay for awhile. This afternoon around 4, she surprised me going to and accepting grain just like her old self! And while I forced some fluids down her early in the day, she took a couple of nice long drinks of warm water. She seems perked up as she came out of the barn to nose around. The bag is still hard but I have been massaging a bit. I will try again. And I can definitely give her some pine branches. Thanks for encouragement! It has been a rollercoaster ride; one I want to be over...

 

I have been working Georgia's bag as much as I can; at most 2x per day. Now this weekend I can really get out there more. She stands so well for it, it must feel good. The outside has softened. Now it just feels like there's a brick IN her bag. I've introduced bottles to the two smallest; both girls, and they take a few ounces at a time but all are still eating from her. She's taking her Vit C with every massage session and drinking water. She's still crazy for grain and while I know she needs it I'm trying to balance giving her enough to make milk but not enough to combat work with her udder as I believe heavy grain and 3 babies was part of the cause of this! We are still working on it! Kids are all growing! And this morning I woke up at almost 9 because the last I went out was at 3! Headed out again...Sooooo happy it's the weekend! Happy weekend to you all! Here's her big boy; 10 pounds at birth. When you pick him up he falls asleep in your arms. Last picture is all 5 from both does. Seeing them is when I know they're worth it!

 

I had been taking out water that was almost boiling to start with but I like the hot water bottle idea. The water does cool down fast. I'll pick one up next time i'm out.

 

Oh also, milk does come out! It's a few streams at most then as I keep working I'll get a stream here and there.

 

Thanks all for the encouragement! I thought bottle babies were tiring! Going through that with her congested udder beats everything. It's nearly completely soft now. It does not get as large as the side she is nursing from but barely produces anything unless the kids are just nursing it all out. Is it possible the time has passed for this side of her bag to produce? I can get 2 consecutive streams and then nothing. Do you think it may slowly build up? Hoping that in the long term it will produce again...Thanks again for support!
