Ewe with mastitis not eating

[Tommy_T]

Caught a ewe with mastitis in one half. Jabbed her with LA antibiotics and metacam yesterday but today she’s still not eating. I’ve jabbed her with a larger dose of the antibiotic today as I only dosed her for her weight yesterday, she hasn’t improved any by the end of today, and I know I’ve read before about giving a good dose of AB. I was going to do her again tomorrow but as she was looking like she was going downhill I thought I’d get on and do it.
I’ve given her a twin lamb energy drench. Tried her with ewe nuts, lamb creep, ivy, and she won’t go for any of it. Also plenty of grass in front of her. I milked off a bit yesterday but today is watery with clots of pus (?) Applied uddermint. Don’t think I can do anything else. Should her appetite pick up again if the antibiotics are working?

Be easy to catch tomorrow.

Get her stripped out and give a jag of metacam

She had metacam yesterday, giving her another one tomorrow. Stripped out what I can but udder is pretty hard.

She's feeling rubbish and wont want to eat anything for a while.. Drench her with some warm water + bit of glucose or sugar and a pinch of salt little and often. She'll manage ok for a while on just liquids + Metacam.

Worth trying her with some ivy.

She started eating grass properly yesterday, improving through the day. Today she’s attempted some hard feed too so fingers crossed she’s on the way to recovery!

A shot of honey, live yoghurt and warm water can help get things working, 10ml syringe down the throat.
