While milking this morning there was small white chunks with blood streaks in it. Not sure what this is. Any ideas?? Also she kidded about 4 weeks ago. and the last couple of days she has had a little blood on her vulva. She kidded triplet buckling they are still nursing on her. I am also seperating them and milking her to feed 2 orphan doelings. any ideas with my problems would be appriciated I'm still pretty new at this. Thanks!

Those could be symptoms of mastitis.

It does sound like mastitis. There are test strips you can buy, but probably the best thing to do is just treat it. Check Fiasco Farm website for help there, as I've got to get ready for work!
