Pygmy Goats
« on: August 05, 2019, 06:54:47 pm »
Hi, looking for some help. We have two female pygmy goats, aged just over 8 years. They are really our pets. They are not bred from or milked. One has developed a swollen udder which appears to give her no distress whatsoever, but I am concerned that something may be wrong. She is behaving exactly as she normally would and has no other symptoms. The udder is soft and warm, not hard or lumpy in any way. In case it was mastitis, my regular small animal vet has treated her with antibiotics, but they had no effect (guessing it isn't mastitis!). Any advice would be welcome. Thanking you in advance.

Thank you, I'm certainly happy to try this and save spending £ on the vet unnecessarily!
