[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9648"] There are a few different scenarios. 1) She'll get gangrenous mastitis and it will literally fall off. If she lives, the area will eventually heal, but be really horrible while it heals. Not common but possible. 2) Her quarter will get very hard, hot and little or no milk will come out. She may or may not continue to eat. Without proper treatment, the quarter could abscess out OR will dry up and never produce milk again. Common. 3) The quarter is not infected, there is adequate milk on the other quarters and this one just has a larger teat which is too large for the calf at this age.....it will decrease in production until the calf starts nursing from it. Common. 4) She will get sick from the mastitis and die. Unfortunately this does indeed happen, depending on which bug is causing the mastitis in the first place. Unfortunately, fairly common. I'd rope her if I had to to check the quarter...and I'd get the vet out to tell you exactly what's happening if you're not sure! Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
