Two days ago I noticed my unbred 3 year old Nigerian doe's bag looked a little large - but she ran away from me and I couldn't catch her. Today I grabbed her collar while eating grain - half the udder is full and when I squeezed blood came out. I have her mother and another nigerian, I haven't bred or milked for 2 years but never had a problem. Udder is not hot and she is eating and moving around fine - but I know this is NOT good. What are my next steps?

IMHO... a goat knowledgeable vet might be in order. I would also milk out completely and try to see if the bleeding continues or stops.
