It depends on how bad the mastitis is, when you milk her and only see a few "flakes" then apply a mint cream (such as, dynamint or udder comfort) after she has been thoroughly milked.

If when you milk her the milk looks like cottage cheese and the infected quarter is hard than you will need to treat her with an antibiotic that is inserted directly into the teat end. It is recommended that you talk to your veterinarian for the available antibiotics that are available in your area. You can also apply some mint cream as well as the antibiotic.

Hope that this helps, if you have any further questions let me know!

Does Canadian cheese have antibiotics in it?

In Canada, the use of antibiotics in dairy cattle is regulated to ensure food safety. Milk from treated animals cannot be sold until a specific withdrawal period has passed, ensuring that any antibiotic residue is below permissible levels. As a result, Canadian cheese should not contain antibiotics, as strict regulations are in place to prevent their presence in dairy products. However, it's always best to check labels or consult with producers for specific practices.


25 percent of all cows are culled because of mastitis?

Yes. Once mastitis has set in, the quarter or quarters in the cow's udder can become infectious to the point where that quarter is no longer functionable to synthesize and secrete milk. Since mastitis is an infection of the udder, pains also have to be taken to take care of the cow and make sure the milk is not combined with cows that do not have mastitis. So, logically, the best way to "treat" cows with mastitis is to cull them and have them in a separate parlor where they can be treated, then once they are better ship them out. It's sad, but its reality.
