[QUOTE="GMN, post: 359019, member: 2382"] This form of mastitis is a E. Coli form, called Coliform mastitis, which leads to gangrene of the effected quarter. When I first started milking I had it happen. The Vet came out, cut the dead quarter off, said it would drain and heal up, however the infection had travvelled into her bloodstream already and she was dead the next day. Best preventative for this form of mastitis is the J-Vac Vaccine, started it right after, never had a problem since. Also, other forms of mastitis can kill a cow, if they get acute mastitis, soon after calving, and it goes unmedicated, it will travel into the bloodstream, and kill within days. Best treatment for any severe case of mastitis, is putting a mastitis infusion up the effected quarter, heavy doses of Penicillen or other form of IM injectable, stripping it out, repeating the doses, but if it is a severe case, have the Vet out to give IV antibiotics. Also the effected quarters in your animal, will more likely not be productive any further, they will be dead quarters. GMN [/QUOTE]
