Next up and looking incredibly uncomfortable as she really gets too much udder and needs a little bit more connection is Miley my power milker. she will never win any confirmation Awards, but she produces a lot of really good milk. IMG_20190311_130943812~2.jpg

Looks like she could feed a small army!
She milks a ton for a Nubian. I got her post mastitis from an older lady. I wish I could have gotten her before who knows how much she milked. She still milks 10 lbs out of half an udder (the one side only gives about 10-15 squirts a milking after you get the pre kidding build up out.
She comes from a line where she would have been an 11 Star milker had I got her in time.

I tried giving her some penicillin and I'm going to try some lysigen after she kids in the hopes that maybe the one side will pick up some more because it really doesn't have any hard mastitis buildup it just seems to not milk well anymore.

Goodbye my beautiful Esther. :hit
Lost to the dangers of disbudding(even by a vet).

It is never the extra bucks :(
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this! :hit
She was beautiful :(

Was she sedated? I know you are devastated. :hugs
it is never the extra bucks :( it always seems to be the best like this one she had ribbing so wide and a wide long flat butt . I was so excited for her and my buck.
She was just disbudded late on Thursday morning. she did not start showing symptoms until Saturday morning when she was crying it sounded like she hadn't enteroxemia so I gave banamine and the antitoxin and several otherthings. When nothing seemed to help I watched some more and started noticing some neurological symptoms along with the pain for instance she seem to have trouble latching onto a teat. we have been treating her since Saturday including lots of late night trips to the vet. It looked like she was getting better but then she went downhill quickly and died this morning. From what I have been reading it is not uncommon for babies to die the third day after disbudding. in the future I think I am going to give banamine every 12 hours and dexamethasone for a few days after this budding. I also now know how to more aggressively treat this type of thing and we'll be able to start on my own if the vet is not available.
another one for the wall of tears for what I didn't know or wasn't able to help.

Thanks for the condolences.

This is the second year I've lost a great doeling as I lost the best one last year. you're right my heart hurts especially after being up caring for her since Saturday morning every couple of hours 4 and 1/2 days of trying and then you lose anyway.
