[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1184015, member: 17767"] The udder on the heifer with the white blaze faced calf has edema. The edema has spread to the navel. The calf is fine but just as a precaution, I tubed him yesterday with milk replacer. I mixed it slightly diluted. The calf is strong and active but I cannot be sure he gets all he needs with her edema. She is a docile heifer. She is now completely relaxed with me working her calf. Amazing but he still hits every teat. She kicks her foot down because it hurts. She stands and bears it. The front teats are not too bad. They are long enough that he gets a good hold but the smaller back ones are only short nubs due to the edema. Nevertheless, he is nursing all four. I wonder is edema can damage their udder. The calf must be favoring her right teats because that side is less swollen. The left side of her udder is extremely hard. She let me get a couple squeezes out of the front teat on the left and there was not a lot of milk. Is milk production reduced significantly when they have edema??? BTW: The udder is swollen much more than when this picture was taken. [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/2miu86.jpg[/img] [img]http://i60.tinypic.com/i4hcfb.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
