[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 233287, member: 852"] She's clean once again in all four quarters via culture on a sample taken Thursday. I feel like the scar tissue is disappearing from the quarter and it's beginning to feel more normal - which is a good sign - but what's bothering me right now is that the milk from the treated quarter is not exactly normal-looking. First few strips just look slightly watery/off color, but no clumps. After that it's fine. I always take culture samples from the forestrippings and then freeze them, so if there were staph hiding it should have an abundant growth on the plates. I wonder if she's had such severe damage to the milk ducts - can't remember the exact term - that while the infection is gone, the milk will not be normal. Might not look normal until next lactation, after rest, repairs, and recovery during the dry period, come to think of it. I'll have to ask my vet about that theory. I ought to run a SCC on her too, out of curiousity. $2 over at the vet clinic; perhaps I'll do that tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
