Naxcel, gentamycin and pennicillin (although only gram negative) are the only mastitis meds we really have, so with your vet not knowing even this, I wouldn't take much stock in the rest of his help with this. You have to always remember that unless your vet has been helping a major herd in your area for years, it is unlikely he is doing anything but guessing or using cattle information. And with cows having 4 quarters, whats the loss of one...it's 1/2 your milk in your goat and it's simply unsightly. So make sure when you talk to your vet he isn't just talking about doing something to kill the half, because it can be to them a 'cure'. The problem is, they can then blow out and abscess even in a blind half that infects your herd. It's obviously a problem to be bothering you, you have been around a long time, when it's something that is bothering me I expect my vet who I don't bug for much of anything to take me seriously and run the tests that need to be ran, and look up the drugs that work in goats. Cause I can wait and watch at home without paying a vet bill

Milk her out if you can get anything out of her test it via LSU (the addy is in goatkeeping 101 at dairygoatinfo.com) then treat her before she freshens...especially since most mastitis is so contagious! Vicki
