[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 734426, member: 2308"] [b]Do NOT, I repeat, do not[/b], put this cow back with the calf that was sucking her. A full udder will not cause mastitis, that is caused by contamination getting into the cow's udder. And, the more another calf sucks out of her, the less colostrum she will have for her own calf. I agree, get some colostrum replacer for her calf, and get it into it when it is born. But the more she has left for her calf, the better. She sounds like a perfectly normal cow, that is getting close to calving. If she is trying to mother the other calf, that will most likely cause you problems. It won't prevent or delay her giving birth, but it is very possible she will reject her own calf in favor of the twin calf. After she has mothered up with her own baby good, then you can put her back with the other calves. [/QUOTE]
