Okay, so I weaned the babies off their momma cold turkey. Two weeks later she's still got a full udder and she seems to be rather irritable. Other than that she's been fine, eating drinking pooping-everything's okay. So this morning I could hear her calling for me and she sounded like she was in pain. I looked and one teat was absolutely huge and the other was down to about normal size. So I'm thinking that the very, very full udder is the source of the pain and I milked her a little and told my daughter to see if there were any lumps or bumps in the other teat. Globs of cottage cheese started coming out of the smaller teat and by the time we were done there was just a small drop or two of blood. No vet open, so I rubbed both teats down with tea tree oil and gave her a shot of antibiotic. Is there anything else I can do? She seems MUCH more comfortable now but I'm terrified of losing my favorite goat.
