My doe kidded back in April. And has been nursing two kids since then. A couple weeks ago one side of her udder dried up. Before then her udder was 'equal'. She's a FF and had trips (one was stillborn). I am concerned that it may be mastitis. :worried: What do you all think? :question: Thanks!
get some test strips (can use teh ones for cows) and find out another reason could easily be that the one kid wasnt nursing enough on the one side so seh just dried up
I agree, those twins were likely using the one side more than the one that dried up, but just in case, I would see about tesating for mastitis.
Now that I think about it, nothing was out of the ordinary. I had to help one of the kids nurse and I had used that side and there had been nothing wrong with the milk. I think I may test her just in case and try to milk her out now that her kids are weaned.
