This evening when I went out to milk, my nubian/togg doe's milk looked a little pink. Her milk is usually cream. I compared the milk from this morning to her milk this evening and it is pinky/peach. What does this mean? What should I do? I am a little worried.

:help

Thanks,

Amber

Well, she is not sick. Her bag is not hot, hard, no clots, no flakes. Her milk is still bloody, only on one side. I milked the sides into different cups. She is acting normal;playing and doing normal goat things. So, this is not mastitis??? I called the vet and she told me to give her 3 cc's of Pennicylin (m.s?? sorry!). Give me any other suggestions if you can!

Thanks! I was only giving her pennicillin because the vet told me to do that for a few days. She is still acting fine, but her milk still has blood in it. I will shave her today and see if I can see a bruise or anything.

Thanks for all the advice. Her milk was clear this morning. I am pretty sure it was broken capillaries. I am thinking since I had just gotten her that my milking was a little rough for her. I was use to milking my wild and crazy alpine!!! I changed my style. Everything seems to be fine now. I was worried for a while.

Thanks again!
