[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 654134, member: 37"] My first advise is to trust your instincts.. I did not post here because it was trivial. I took pictures, but did not post them here because of animal rights orginazations and could not find a picture of a damaged teat on the intenet. I wanted to believe you guys and the vet...but when i forwarded the picture to the vet and he called back and to the vet we went. Lucy's front right teat was amputated, there were bleeding problems during the procedure, she had dead tissue and some mastitis. The treatment plan is 30cc or pen for five days. When the vet crimped and cut the teat there was mention that the teat would drain, it did not. What advise can you give. I don't care if I have a 3 bagged cow..i just want her to live This is a situation where a phone call is not the answer, a photo got attention. I want my cow to live. The milk did not drain, the vet said when the teat was cut it would. Our goal now is for the cow to live. Thank you. donna Edited to add..the vet said there were some lumps or mastitis, that there were dead areas, If there is not drainage is there anything we can do. I apoligize for any errors in this posting, I have had a terrible day, and learned that a good friend drowned and part of our barn collapsed...so if anyone has something helpful i appreciate it.
