Help! Poison Milk?
One of my best milkers must have gotten ahold of some poisonous weed - or SOMETHING. She was off her feed at the evening milking on Monday, then foaming at the mouth on Tuesday AM. Stre-e-e-etching as if she had a painful gut, and looking distinctly uncomfortable. I did everything I knew to do, and got advice from my mentor as well.
Thankfully, Lily pulled through, and is back to being her old, ornery self, eating well, cudding, and DEMANDING to be first in line at milking time. That makes me very happy.
My question is; should I discard the milk for several milkings following the poisoning episode? I can only assume she ate something poisonous - can't know for sure, and she isn't telling me.
Thanks in advance,
NeHi
