I hope this pic down loaded. Just bought 5 kinder does. They are all dry, but one has a swollen utter. Seller said it's fluid. I was aware of it, no fault to the buyer. Just wondering if there is a name or a cure for it , or does this just happen sometimes? They are. All health y and happy. Thanx for any info

I think it worked this time. I tried milking her a little. It was milk, not watery or pussy. But being my first time milking anything I was clumsy and she started getting impatient with me. Shud I keep milking a little each day? They've been grazing and browsing all day. It feels strange to milk,,,, but I have nothing to compare it to!

I am no expert but that is one huge udder for a dry doe.
I'm not sure what I would do. My first thought would be to milk her to relieve that pressure.
Hopefully the more exp. of us pops in with some input

When is the last time she had kids? I agree that that is a big udder for a dry doe. It is possible that she is still in milk or that she came back into milk without being bred. I have one in milk after kidding 2 years ago. She came back into milk last year without being bred and has not dried up even after not being milked all winter. Milk her if you want milk; it can't hurt anything.

If the udder is healthy and the milk good, I would consider that a bonus!
