Tomorrow

[TGreenhut]

My nubian doe was giving me a hard time trying to dry her up. I finally stopped milking her in August (I know- a long time ago). Her udder slowly became smaller and she was no longer producing milk. I thought I had finally dried her up and all she needed to do was absorb the rest of the milk in her udder. Then one morning (about a week ago) I noticed that her udder was hard, lumpy, hot and painful to the touch. Last Sunday I (*painfully*) milked her out and administered a tube of Tomorrow in each teat. Well now the mastitis is gone but she is very slowly producing milk again. I treated her a week ago and now her udder is about 3/4 (or a little less) full of milk right now. Should I just leave it be or what? I do not want milk from her again.

You can offer her a little sage dry or fresh. It should help her dry up.

Here is my saga with my heavy milker. I would not leave an udder full. You will just go back to having mastitis
