Thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions on treating the mastitis...We may 
have turned the corner. Her temp reached 104.5 yesterday afternoon and was 
102.9 by late evening. It is 102 now. The rock hard gland has softened and 
shrunk slightly. Several people suggested cabbage leaves – can’t say that 
is what has made the difference, but she has had 4 applications now. I do a 
warm compress, express the teat, and then put cool cabbage leaves on and wrap 
with brown gauze and crate her for about an hour. Pups are nursing on the 
unaffected teats, though mom tires of them quickly. Pups are eating puppy gruel 
with a little goat milk and boiled liver water added. She is still taking the 
Clavamox. Well, it’s time for another warm compress...
