I have a 2.5 year old 2F Nubian doe that is due to kid in roughly 8 days. She began filling her udder at the end of November, but it is lopsided. Her previous owner (whom I've bought goats from before and trust) said that it wasn't so when she freshened earlier this year (with a single that she pulled and bottle-fed). Her previous owner also said that she could be getting mastitis because of her sickness (a couple weeks ago she had a temp and was not doing well at all).However, I check her all over everyday and so far there are no lumps and no swelling in her udder. Is there a chance that when she freshens it will even out? If it doesn't is there anything I can do to try to make it even? Like milking the smaller side multiple times per day?
And also, two of my young FF does (both coincidentally born on our farm) have developed some wart-like bumps on their udder - and in the case of one, her vulva area. They are due the 11th and the 16th of January. Any idea what these are and is there anything I can do about it? (pictures are of my Mini-Mancha doe - due soonest)
Thanks in advance!
