[QUOTE="LisaW, post: 112506, member: 576"] Calf was sucking off the more healed teat this afternoon. Hasn't totally emptied that quarter, but it is significantly less swollen. The sore on the other teat is scabbing over as well, only it looks severely engorged. Calf is trying to suck from all 4. Cow lets him suck some from the more healed side, but it's tender and she kicks him off. She lets him try from the other side also, but he doesn't get very far before she kicks him off. He's hungry. Sunburn - could be. Her skin is very pink and she's got the largest udder of all the ones we have, so maybe she's more unprotected in our sunny stretch up here? The calf doesn't seem to have any issues in his mouth as he's discovered the salt/mineral block and seems to really enjoy it. LOL As to her possibly kicking her teat - maybe, but that seems unlikely. She certainly couldn't step on it. The dairy animals across the way could - but not ours. :lol: I think I'll stick with the sunburn idea. Thanks everyone. :) [/QUOTE]
