[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1124028, member: 20599"] I have a related question about mastitis. (We haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure we will at some point, so I'd like to be prepared). Our (Angus) cows are never milked; in fact, I have no clue how to strip out a teat if the cow has mastitis. Our great vet is just down the road, luckily, and would be the first call I make. But will antibiotics alone cure it if you can't get her in the chute to strip it a couple times a day (or ever)? We do have a good chute but the cows don't exactly walk in on their own accord. It usually takes a bit of doing, and requires several people--no way could I get one in the chute 2x/day, even if I knew how to strip it. Without stripping the affected teat, would we be likely to (at a minimum) lose the quarter (assuming we inject antibiotics per the vet's recommendation)? Thanks! Trying to pre-panic; it lessens the actual panic later... ;-) [/QUOTE]
