Irritation On Back Of Udder

Categories: Diseases of Animals

I have a yearling heifer which has sore teats and blotches just back of

her bag which seem to itch. Her mother had a sort of eczema on her neck.

I fear her sore teats will spoil her for milking when she comes in next

year.



The following treatment is advised: Drench with 1 pound of Epsom salts

dissolved in a couple quarts of water. The sores may be treated by

washing them with a 2 per cent solution of one of the coaltar

disinfectants, such as creolin. After the sores have been allowed to dry

naturally, a very little powdered calomel may be dusted thereon. Do this

every other day for a few days.
