Depending on how severe the case is you can simply treat it with mint cream that is rubbed onto the in infected udder. Be sure to milk the goat well and at least twice a day, this will help clean out the infectious milk. If it is a severe case, you will need to treat her with antibiotics that are inserted directly into the udder through the teat canal. It is recommended that you use this medication as well as the mint cream.

You are able to purchase these items at your local veterinarian office.

What causes and how do you treat blocked milk duct and mastitis?

Mastitis is inflammation from injury or infection, what commercial operations do to prevent this is every they milk, they dip the teats in iodine and they also wipe them off and sterilize them before milking as well, there is no way to stop it from happening but that is one way to minimize it. To treat it, it depends on the severity of the injury. You could let the cow heal by its self or you can treat it with antibiotics.


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.
