Has anyone else ever had a broodmare with mastitis.I have raised probably 50 or 60 babies or so and I have never had a mare get mastitis until now.The mare is about a week past due and should go about another week at least maybe longer to give her more time to clear up. I know I can't let the foal nurse from the mare.My vet yesterday put her on NAXCEL and told me to try and milk her once a day but that is a job in it self and I have to take a sample to the vet everyday and let them check it.I am also trying to find me some colostrum for the baby also.Anyone else have any suggestions for mastitis?
 
Never heard of that before, but I'm sure it does happen, I have never seen it in my years with horses.

Good luck,
Alan
