Treating Mastitis with ToDay

What's the dosage for ToDay with goats? Hoegger's website says each tube contains enough meds to treat twice, but I'm NOT going to use the same tube on different sides or even on the same side twice. So do I just use the whole tube? And the box says to treat once per 12 hours for a maximum of 2 doses. That's just 2 treatments, then? But is that the same for goats? Last time I treated with Spectramast, and I believe I treated for 5 days, per the vet's advice.

I used whole tube, for 3 days, using pirsue.

Whole tube, 2-3 times to treat. Milk out, infuse tube. Be very sanitary. 12 hrs later milk out, infuse another tube. Repeat for 3rd time if you think necessary.

If it DOESN'T clear up the problem, send off a milk sample for culture and susceptibility.

Thanks both of you!

If it doesn't solve the problem, you have to wait several days after treatment before taking a clean sample to testing.
