@Southern by choice For sure after I milked her into the CMT paddle. Did you catch the picture above?

I'd start Banamine and Pen ... but as always I think a phone call to your vet is most appropriate, and can best advise.

Nope - completely missed the pic!

wow.... ugh

Banamine... yeah... I never have gotten around to getting that from my vet...

I am still waiting on a call back from the University of Tennessee's Vet Clinic. Hopefully it doesn't take too much longer... Or I am going to start calling them and bugging them.

Sorry you've got yet another issue to deal with. Hope you caught it in time to cure it.

@Southern by choice, UT asked me not to use Cydectin (moxidectin) unless absolutely necessary. Respecting their concern for resistance I have not used it yet.

I've never heard that.

@OneFineAcre, UT said they consider it their last ditch drug. Since they have no idea if/when more might come out they are trying to get farmers not to use it unless none of the other anthelmintics work.

Poor Chloe has just been miserable all day. Laying with me in the screened in porch and moaning All day... I knew mastitis was to be avoided but I had no idea how terrible it would be for the goats. I feel like a monster for having allowed this. Poor sweet heart! This morning when I was milking her out it looked like that picture. Then this afternoon it was watery red and stank like fish.

Banamine will bring down fever and reduce pain. She needs this ASAP. Also Nuflur is the antibiotic of choice. This is one of the few that can get into the udder. She also needs to be infused with TODAY.

I've never dealt with mastitis but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you and your goat are going through this, and I hope she improves soon.

Hmmm
That's interesting
It's the same class as Ivermectin
Have they not heard of Prohibit?
That's a much bigger gun than Cydectin
Have you tried Ivermectin?
