My proven mama ewe just had twins yesterday morning. I had been watching an abscess in her udder since July and in the last couple weeks as she bagged up it burst so I figured we were heading in the right direction.
Well, she’s all bagged up and absolutely no milk is coming out. Believe me - I’ve tried to milk her (I can milk my other ewe no issues).
So she’s never presented as hot, red or tender with her udders. Still she isn’t presenting that way. Upon more internet searches I learned about sub-clinical mastitis. Could this be what she’s been dealing with this whole time?
Has anyone else seen this in their proven mama ewes?
She is going on 5 years old.
