[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1771296, member: 38590"] I can't help with the used milking machine, but I will give some unsolicited commentary on your mastitis treatment program. When your vet sent samples to the lab and the results were negative, that's because the bacteria were already dead. That's very common with the types of bacteria that cause toxic mastitis. They are readily killed by the cow's immune system, but the dead cells release endotoxin as they break down, making the cow very sick. The DNA testing you had performed picks up the DNA of dead bacteria. There was no need for antibiotics. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Banamine are pretty effective at countering the effects of the endotoxin. That and fluid therapy to keep the cow hydrated are the most useful tools for helping them pull through. It is illegal in the United States to use Baytril for treatment of mastitis, in large part because people mistakenly abuse it as you did. [/QUOTE]
