[QUOTE="cowvet, post: 389439, member: 5975"] For lack of anything else to see is it is mastitis you could do a quick "home made" test... mix one part dish washing detergent and three parts water (mix don't shake!) then mix equal parts milk and this detergent mixture ( a couple of teaspoons of each will do). Swirl this together for about 10 seconds. If it clots and goes goopy/slimey/phlegm then this is indicative of a very high somatic cell count, and therefore indicative of mastitis! If it doesn't react i would take a sterile sample to a vet for culture (always got to assume your detergent doesn't work like mine!!!) [/QUOTE]
