[QUOTE="rodderz, post: 848973, member: 16805"] Regarding the blind quarter, I had one very similar a few years ago. Felt something hard in the teat canal and could only get a few drops of milk out. I mentioned it to an "old timer" who told me it might be a calcium build-up in the teat canal. His solution is to get two pens(I know, I know) and run them down the teat whilst squeezing it. Well I tried it and bugger me if it didn't work! It took a couple of goes and yes, you have to be careful not to damage the teat. But it seemed to break up the calcium a bit and squeeze it out the teat. Might be worth a try. [/QUOTE]
