[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1182539, member: 9267"] If Mum isn't concerned about her calf she probably knows where he is. How long has he been missing for? He needs to feed at least every twelve hours & the cow should seek him out by that stage. By 'lumps' you mean you can feel hard masses in the udder? But the milk looks normal? If it's edema it will clear up in a few days and in the meantime an injection of oxytocin may help with the milk letdown. If you're worried about the lumps being due to mastitis, you could get some RMT (rapid mastitis test) solution and mix it with a little milk from each quarter. That will tell you which, if any, quarters are infected as the mixture goes gluggy when mastitis is present. [/QUOTE]
