Milk Issues :/

 I milked one of my nubians this morning and tonight and when I was filtering it..it took me 3 filters. Her milk has thick stuff in it..not clumps..but its thick and when it goes through the filter it builds up enough to stop the milk from going through the filter. What do you think is going on? Shes been feeding her doeling and the last time I milked her was bout 2 weeks ago and the milk was fine.

  • I dont have one on hand...I am ordering one today. :/

  • I would do the CMT. When I have a doe with mastitis, I'm checking the CMT on her daily to make sure the infection is actually clearing up. As I learned with the la mancha that died, the clinical signs of infection can disappear, but the doe can still have a serious infection.

  • Okay. Should I inject her bag with Today or will she be fine?

  • I'd continue doing it for at least a couple of days after she seems 100% fine.

  • How long should I put this peppermint oil on her udder? Iv been putting it on twice a day and started last night.

  • I will for sure!! Its amazing how quickly it works!!

  • YAY!!! Keep us posted on how her production goes once you have it cleared up. Looks like I need to go get some peppermint oil!

  • Yes now I just hope we can get it ALL cleared up soon and get her production back up there.

  • Wow, that is fast! So happy to hear it kolti!

  • Wow!! I put peppermint oil on my does bag last night and this morning. When I milked this morning and filtered the milk it only took 1 filter and there wasnt that much of that thick stuff in it. So its looking good!! Thank you guys very much.
