I have a dairy heifer that had her calf about 3 weeks ago. She is nursing the calf and I am milking about 1/2 gallon of milk from her daily for my personal use.
She has that nasty sweet acetone like breath and her milk also has the smell. I assume this is a symptom of ketosis, but she has no other symptoms....her appetite and behavior are fine.
What do I do in this situation? Do I treat her with a drench every day, change her feed, or do nothing?
