Hello,
I am trying to milk my Nigerian Dwarf and seem to be having some issues with the left teat. She just kidded 2 weeks ago and yesterday was my first try. I was able to get 2 cups from the right side but nothing from the left. Today I got 2 cups from the right again and just a couple squirts from the left. Her left teat is very small. I can barely get two fingers on it. It does seem that the kid will only drink from the left. Any suggestions?
Also, what can I put on the udder/teats after milking to decrease infection but is safe for the kid to still drink?
Thanks everyone here is so helpful being a noob and all.
