Bump on teat

[SmallFarmGirl]

Hey Ya'll! (Hope this is in the right place)

I want to breed my doe Kisses again so that I can milk again! (If this is would help, Kisses is 3-4)
The problem is that the last time I freshened her, I had to dry her up because of a bite on her teat.
I had brought her to the vet because I was milking her and felt a little bump on her teat. The Vet said it was a bug bite,
and said it would heal. I had been milking her for a long time so I decided to let her dry her up so that
the bite could heal. It did, and a few months later I found the same little bump on her teat. Kisses does have a habit of biting that teat, so the bump gets bigger and redder.
I tried a natural mix of honey and corn starch to heal the bite (I think it is), and it healed up. Now I want to milk her again, but I'm worried the bump will come back because sometimes when she wanted to be milked she tugged on the teat. What should I do?

First I have missed you. Where have you been?
I would breed her again and get udder butter or one of the type and start getting her udders ready for kids and milk. Brownie does that too but I can still milk her I just use hot soapy water to wash her well and rinse her and dry her then she is good to milk. Make sure you dip her afterward let that dry them apply the udder balm, most are non toxic so it won't hurt the kids when they nurse.
I hope this helps

Aww Thanks! Missed Ya'll too. I'll update my journal on here today.

Thanks for the advice. Will try it! Thanks so much! Now I can hopefully have kids this spring bouncing around the goat yard!
