[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 76901, member: 852"] Mastitis isn't going to hurt the calf, but it isn't very nutritious either. :P The cow also may not want to let the calf nurse off those quarters. And...one gallon is barely enough for one calf per day. She's probably started to dry herself off and you'd have to supplement the calf until the cow starts producing again. If you want to give it a try, use a mastitis treatment like ToDay (lactating cow formula) rather than a shot - the ToDay stuff will work better, and you're going to want the mastitis cleared up asap. That said, I can think of several cows off hand that went down with calving problems and were milked intermittently like yours has been...even with antibiotics the cows was never the same. One had two quarters with mastitis, she 'lost' one and the other only partially recovered. My opinion - if the cow looks good right now, ship her while she's still doing OK. [/QUOTE]
