[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 673485, member: 5106"] The problem with the balm is that it is sticky and when she lays down dirt and crud will stick to her teats and possibly cause infection. I wouldn't use the dilator's as that can lead to mastitis a bigger problem than she already has. You couldn try and get a better prescription ointment from your vet or you could strip them out and insert cefi dry or another product and dry those two out. It's up to you what you would like to do. A couple years ago Angel calved in Feb and the cold weather and wind left her rear teats very sore and cracked, I used some leftover salve I had from Bo's skin condition and then sprayed blue spray on it. Did this 2 or 3 times a day and by day 3 she was letting the calf drink from the back quarters again and had no further problems (not even a hint of mastitis). I would give them another shot with a stronger, medicated ointment.. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
