[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1661963, member: 38038"] the first thing you need to do is take a milk sample to your vet to find out what type of mastitis it is. like son of butch said their are different types. once your vet determines which type it is, he/she can do a sensitivity test to see which antibodies it is sensitive to. without testing you are just treating blindly and no one drug will work on all. when i was milking, staph usually meant a trip to the sale barn because it is highly contagious if you have other cows that you are milking. Best time to treat successfully is when you dry them up but you still need to know what drugs work and even so it usually does not go away. E.coli usually makes the udder hard and swollen with watery milk. can kill a cow quickly after infection. strept is easier to treat and has the best chance of clearing up. good luck [/QUOTE]
