Jersey Cow

Hi!!!! My jersey cow has mastitis does anyone know of any home remedies or something that will help her get better? Thanks!!!!!

Just responding bc no one else has. I don't know if all mastitis is the same but I've had it multiple times. Although I did have to take antibiotics cuz I felt like death, plenty hot compresses and massaging and draining the milk also helped a lot.

The best thing for her is antibiotics, but if your one of those all natural creatures there are a few things you can do. Milk out the infected quarter as often as possible ( like hourly ), if there us swelling in it soak her udder with cold water frequently, or just quit milking the infected quarter all together and it will dry up and you can milk her as a three-titter. The quarter may come back next lactation

Also make sure you completely milk it out! Will hurt like heck but if you don't milk her out it'll make it worse
