Tiana has A LOT of edema in 1/2 of her udder. Her teat was so tight the little guy couldn't nurse. I milked her out some to relieve pressure. Her edema is on her stomach and in her leg. Only on the one side. The side that was leaking is not swollen at all. I milked her out, but not completely and massaged that side of her udder. Anything else I can do to help her?

I thought she would have a lot of edema. Not that uncommon, she was probably laying down and pushed the fluid to the other side.

Look for some mint udder cream. I have used Dynamint and liked it. I’m gonna try a different product called Udder Comfort this year. I saw and ad for it in a livestock magazine, and then heard other dairy goat breeders really liked it. Hoping it’ll be a little thicker than the dynamint also.

Congratulations on the buckling, he IS adorable! Good job on assisting. Can’t wait to see what Marshmallow gives!

I can not wait for Marshmallow to kid! Keep checking on her. She is DH goat and usually only comes to him. She comes to everyone IF they have treats or if she thinks you have something that must be for her lol. She is being antisocial even with DH today.

Marshmallow is in labor! She was baby talking earlier.
She put herself away in her kidding stall at 3 pm. Went to check on the buckling, seen her asleep in her kidding stall. Usually have to shake the grain bucket to get her in.
