Hi my 16+ year old mare recently started getting a discharge on her udders. Today I scraped it off only for them to start leaking and I can almost milk it out of her. I have never bred her in the past 4 years I have owned her so she isn't pregnant. A few weeks ago she got some bad misqito bites and 1 udder was bitten and swollen. All the other bug bites went away except the swollen udder. I'm worried it could be related. Can mares really get mastitis fom bug bites? I read that mare sometimes lactate when in heat, I don't know if she is in heat though. But this is the first time it's happened. I would like to call the vet but would feel stupid if it's just because she's in heat.
Thanks for any help
