[QUOTE="BettyLandercasper, post: 911712, member: 18175"] It sounds like the cow is going to slough off that teat, that she likely had either a hot e. coli or a staph mastitis, if she is no longer "ill" she will wall off the infection, separate it from her body. With luck, the unhealthy tissue will peal away from the healthy and she will live. There may be maggots involved. Without luck the infection will erode into one of the main blood vessels and she will die of infection or bleed to death. A big dose of antibiotics when this was first noticed would have been a good thing. But even with aggressive treatment some infections are so severe that gangrene develops and the teat falls off. I'd recommend that you call a veterinarian or at least a cow person, someone with a lot of experience, to help you at least get salvage value for this cow and also to see if her discomfort can be helped.
