[QUOTE="LisaW, post: 112264, member: 576"] We ran our cows through the chute today to check their eyes - herefords with weepy eyes *sigh* and to vaccinate them - and discovered that one of our cows has her two front teats engorged with a large ulcer on the outside of each teat, about the size of a nickel. I slathered them in bag balm. One is scabbed over and looks to be healing but her calf cannot suck from it. The other one looks more fresh. Other than the ulcers & scab, there's no redness or swelling, just her being engorged and very tender. The calf, a month old (kids named him named George W. Bush, btw ;) ) is doing well. He's spunky, energetic, curious, and growing. I don't think that he's having any trouble sucking from the back teats. I have no idea how she got them, and the calves were out of the chute/gate before we discovered her issue, or I would have checked his mouth. Other than keeping an eye on her, any suggestions? What should I be looking for in her, other than improvement. [/QUOTE]
