[QUOTE="Missy, post: 621864, member: 8779"] Hi all, A couple months before X'mas, a friend bought a jersey cow off a dairy farm as she kept getting mastitis in one teat.They bought her to foster calves on.The cow was in calf to a jersey bull and the owner of the dairy asked that if she had a heifer could he buy the heifer off them. Well she calved new years eve. I went and seen her when her calf was about 3 days old. She had a heifer calf so she was going to be sold to the dairy in a week or so.I asked "friend" if they were going to put another couple of calves on her as her milk bag was HUGE and she had a tonne of milk,way too much for a newborn jersey calf. Well they stated they were not until they sold the heifer calf,stupid if you ask me!!! Well of course cow got mastitis so bad (yet they wouldnt treat her) they decided to send her to the sale barn in a pretty bad way. I went and bought her home,paid $30 for her...Shame as i know how much of a good mumma she was! Well i have her home,one teat has thick creamy milk coming out(not chunky) other 3 teats look like water almost... I can get one calf to suck her out,others aint interested yet. I have been stripping them out a bit.I asked vet what i could do,he gave me a Anitbiotic and 4 doses of Oxytocin to give her 20 mins before i put calves on her to help let milk down ... He never suggested the thing you put into their teats to help clear it up.... Any suggestions please :?: [/QUOTE]
