[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 371955, member: 852"] Probably had mastitis at some point in the last several weeks, maybe months. I'd leave it completely alone... the infection's probably been and gone already, and with any luck the inside of the teat will have scarred over so no milk (that might possibly have mastitis-causing pathogens) will come out. If the calf can nurse off that quarter and there's still an active infection, chances are that the other quarters will also become infected. So just leave her be and check her in the fall at weaning to see if the other three quarters are normal, and keep or cull based on that. [/QUOTE]
