Caring for Jubilee

Two days after we got Jubilee, signs of trouble were obvious, serious trouble. The second day, her left half udder was a little bit harder to milk, with some clumps in the milk. The following day, Jubilee was sitting down, and her left teat was swollen, with blood and no milk coming out, the right teat went dry. She had mastitis, likely due to the previous owner not milking her often enough (she told us she was milking once a day). Having lost two goats from poisonning, we decided to try harder to save Jubilee. She looked like she was not going to survive more than 2-3 days, so Saturday morning, we called Pilchuck vet clinic, and the vet saw Jubilee. The first question was is there a baby still in there. The X-rays showed an empty womb. The doctor said that seeing her level of discomfort, there was a good chance she would not make it. He gave us fluid sub-cutaneous injection, to re-hydrate her, and intra-muscular antibiotic injections, to fight the infection. The bill was $450 (Pilchuck is an emergency-only clinic). After just one day, Jubilee was still very sick, but appetite was coming back, she was moaning again, weak, but better. The third day was even better, but the left teat was looking really bad. The right side of the udder started to fill up, but would not flow. On the fourth day, the right teat was flowing again (after long minutes of squeezing it). Jubilee was regaining her voice, and making it known! She was walking a little strange, her front legs cracking, and not looking very assured. I took her outside, and she ate fresh grass from the ground, while I was trying to get that teat to flow. On Thursday, I put her back with the other goats. Sub-cutaneous fluid injections stopped on Friday, but antibiotics continued. On Saturday, I started using bag balm on the udder skin, particularly on the left teat and the scar tissues around it. Her condition slowly improved through the weekend, with more and more milk flowing from the right side, but nothing but blood (less and less of it though) from the left side, with the udder feeling hard. Scar tissues appeared at the base of the left teat, which was no longer swollen, but appeared black. Sunday night, 8 days after seeing the vet, The left teat was still not flowing, so we re-ordered antibiotic injection, since we were out.
She is eating well, acting fine, still walking a little odd, but standing her ground against the other does, head butting at time. I need to get that udder to flow on both sides.
If we save Jubilee, we will have spend more money than the market says she is worth, but for us, it will be our first victory against our animal illnesses, and it would mean a lot.
Mastitis is caused by bacteria, and once it has happened in a farm, it is difficult to get rid off. Be careful when you buy goats. If it happens that our other does are infected, we will stop breeding them, and use them only as bush eater, still caring for them, but without risking their life in breeding them.
