LA 200 every couple days for ten days in isolation and prayers.
Still might loose the quarter.

if you can milk anything out of it, do so... clean the teat end and infuse with a dry cow mastitis treatment.
Your choice of systemic antibiotics; may or may not help, but can't hurt.
Stop the nursing. Isolate or sell the offending calves.

X2 what lucky_p said. Have some dairyman regularly using dry cow mastitis treatment on heifers. Figure out who is doing it and SHIP ..... I would use Excenel rather than LA 200 because that is what we usually go to for the dairy animals right off.

X2. Actually had a case similar to this recently. I milked her out (she is extremely tame) and gave it a try and she came through and is raising an excellent heifer calf this year.
