Hi, so we have a doe who has chapped teats. I'll try to get a pic later, but we put a bit of Blu-Kote on them, so you can't really see anything other than purple rn, but it looks more or less the way your knuckles would if they were really chapped in the winter. I think it's a combination of the babies nipping her too hard and maybe the teat-dip drying her skin out after milking? I felt horrible milking her this morning because her skin had gotten raw overnight.
Is there something I can put on them to moisturize her skin, that would still be safe if the babies got it in their mouths?
