That is SO much better! Poor girl, that had to have hurt! Good on you! I'm sure that took some serious work on your end.

HEE HEE! That is a long trip to GA. lol.

Thanks, everyone.

I hope her whole chronicle helps someone if they ever encounter such a thing - still not sure just what took place. Combo of factors, I believe though.

I used Prep H for the girl parts - worked like a charm there.

For the teats - I covered, once they weren't so raw, them with 10% lanolin twice daily and light wrapped - milked her out twice a day with a cold compress around the teats during milking. I used collasate spray - which is amazing stuff - one is scabbed over a lot -I also used silvadene cream for awhile.

One thing about it - she and her sis have the longest, easiest to milk teats on a FF on earth - lol

Oh how envious I am of her teats, my nubian ff has a great udder but teats that would embarrass my Nigerians, if they are not better next go around I dont think shell be a milker.

Im glad she healed well, if I didnt have so much crap going on Id make that road trip in a heart beat.

That line has long teats - for sure:
There is the doe above
A 1/4 sister the the above doe's dam

and then the above doe's sister

then here is one from another line - nothing near the length of the teats on these above. Not sure how these teats will hold up in years to come, but wow - they are easy to milk now.
All are FFs
