Healing process for Jubilee

This morning, Jubilee's dead half udder fell off. She has being chewing on that teat for a while, and now the dead tissues came off. Karen took a look and said everything looks normal. Reading online about black Mastitis, it appears to be part of the normal healing process. We have restarted drinking Jubilee's milk, but yesterday night and this morning, I gave it to our dog and our cat, concerned that the dead udder would result in secondary infection. We are spraying her udder with Fight Back, which is a Black Mastitis treatment. Jubilee is acting normal, calling for company every time she sees us, and resting/ruminating, or grazing, at the same time as the other goats. She eats grain during milking, and fights to get off the milking stand once the grain is gone.
