[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10248"] thanks jeanne.. i was ready to ship her the other day.. but in all fairness to her, i havent seen her do it in some time now.. and the mastitis infection could have been from the suckling received way back, and just now getting infected.. i dont know. so first thing this morning i ordered a weaning device from jeffers. she is going to get a 2nd chance for now, but i will try to watch her more closely in the future. one more strike and she's out of here. thanks again gene > Gene, We're all really sorry to > hear this.
