If she is a heavy milker and she has no kid on her she could just be really miserable but you would know that by looking at her.

My husband would tell you to sing to her and play soft gentle music...I don't have the patience for that. :) In an emergency I once milked for that vet I mentioned earlier and it took me 7 hours to milk out 7 does. Granted they were 1.5-2 gallon milkers but they WOULD NOT let their milk down for me. They didn't know me and they just held it back. She milks all 7 of them in less than an hour. Give her time
