We gave her Tomorrow when we dried her

Has anyone ever had a dry doe get mastitis?
This is our first case of mastitis ever
She's been dry for over two months
We have a sample to get a culture done but no question it's mastitis
I've got some pictures I'll post when I can
We milked out the fluids and gave an antibiotic teat infusion
No fever so hopefully we caught in time
Never known anyone to have a dry doe end up with it... bacteria is the cause so it can happen just so unusual.
What made you suspect it?
How is the doe doing?
Really stinks sorry you have to deal with it, hopefully it will clear up quickly with no issues.

If you look at pic you can see why we knew there was a problem
She was completely dry
Dr C said it was not common but not exactly rare
Could have been prompted by an injury like someone stepping on her
Or hormonal she didn't settle this fall and we haven't been able to get her bred
She has stealth heats

You should consider putting this in its own thread. Not many people are aware of dry does getting mastitis. Who knows, it could really help someone in the future.
Why did you use Tomorrow instead of Today? Are you going to keep milking her out? Just curious.
Hopefully she will get over this quickly

It has a longer withdrawal time
Today is more for an animal in production and the shorter withdrawal time means they are back in production sooner
In this case withdrawal is not an issue

Don't know
Vet told us to milk her out today
Not sure if we will continue to do so
