For those that recall, here is an update on Claire, our Nubian doe who had
such problems from kidding back in early Feb., then developed mastitis, a cough, and so forth.
The mastitis on the side that had it cleared up after intensive treatments of excenel, today and then tomorrow. . .the tomorrow really seemed to do it though, the other things did very little to help. The side is now totally dry, and she is giving about 1/2 a gallon on the other side that never had mastitis, which we just bottlefeed to her kids we pulled when the mastitis developed back when they were 8 weeks old.
Claire has gained weight since, the cough is gone, and her back end is much improved. . though the tail is still down and she doesn't/can't squat. She goes all over the farm. . .but she isn't agile like normal. .. doesn't run much or jump, but she doesn't seem in pain. She looks a lot better though
That was tonight ^
that was about 3 weeks or more ago. . .
I think she looks better, anyhow - lol
Hard to tell from the photo I got tonight, but her back / rump is nothing like it was - I think there must have been swelling and such before. It isn't great now, but it looks better.
Here are her kids - HUGE compared to our last ones at 10 weeks
I'm sure it will just take a little more time for her tail to get back to normal. Good job!
