I have been putting tea tree oil on it but I do have a really good plantain salve I make that I'll start putting on it. Don't know why I haven't been doing that.<br /><br />The milk is white. No blood or clumps or puss. And the sore looked better tonight. It probably was one of the kids getting too rough with her. They are really big kids.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-65764884441457545312014-05-06T11:22:33.499-07:002014-05-06T11:22:33.499-07:00We have had/have does that are lopsided because th...We have had/have does that are lopsided because their kids favor one side. The little twerps. One of our does cut her teat on a plastic pan when engorged, and I wouldn't have known what happened, if I wasn't right there and saw another doe push her into it. Anyways, I had to carefully milk her out on that side for a while because she didn't want her kids nursing on it. Which of course there was no way to milk her out without making it bleed.<br />I would check the teeth on her kids, and if they are sharper on the outside corners than the other goats kids, then you could file them a little with a nail emery board. I read about this in a sheep farmers book.<br />I would not be concerned about CL. She doesn't have puss coming out of her, and hasn't been to any goat shows were she would have been exposed and stressed right? Those diseases are caused by stress and lack of proper minerals and vitamins. I was reading about animals getting those kinds of diseases in Pat Colebys sheep book.<br />Do you have any really good kind of skin healing salve you could use on her?<br /><br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-32055271847262751512014-05-06T09:59:00.604-07:002014-05-06T09:59:00.604-07:00Strange.

I'd just keep an eye on it and moisturize her udder. Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845268534571646512noreply@blogger.com
