Blood in milk?
We have a FF that kidded last week. Tonight there was blood mixed in the milk. I'm concerned obviously with mastitis, but can this also be cause by her nursing 2 kids. Teat trauma? She's the first doe of the 3 that kidded that we let nurse, against my better judgemen.
I'm not sure what to do. Can we pull kids and see what happens to milk quality? Biggest problem is I don't have a Place to separate her from the kids except to leave them in a separate stall, it's so hot to leave them locked up. If need be I'll dry her up.
We love our goaties, but getting overwhelming. It seems to always be something.
