On another thread i have spoken about the case of sorenouth i have running rampant on my farm that has resulted in the death of twins and has their mother in a bad way. I am trying to salvage the dam.
Her teat tips are scabbed up about 3/4 of an inch and MUST be peeled in order to be able to get the milk out of her. This is not only a vector for infection, but is devastatingly painful -- i have a feeling as everything heals, her teats will SEAL SHUT and she will not be able to be milked again, not to mention the complications thereafter.
Hubby is picking up stainless teat drains from the farm store tomorrow as well as iodine to dip the lengths in first to try and disinfect the inside of the teats as well.
HOW do these stay in? Do they need to be taped? Do you think theres a chance that these will help, as i think they will, to save her orifaces?
Thank you.
