Doe with mastitis!!!

[TeaTimeBunnies]

So I had a doe lose her litter Friday to what I speculate as a snake attack. The snake lost a lot of blood to my doe so I'm fairly certain it won't be coming back. That being said I wasn't able to get her any kits to care for until today, and I noticed one teat felt hard. I squeezed out almost cheese concistancy milk until regular consistancy milk came out, and I continued until the tear was empty. Will it affect the kits, and is there anything I can give her to help her get rid of it? As of right now I'm keeping the teat drained

Mix it with feed or brew a tea?

I just give them a couple of tablespoons of herb
in a dish -- let them eat what they want..

Did the whole litter die? Sorry if this is in another thread, but I can't remember. In any case, if she no longer is nursing kits, there are several herbs that will help dry up her milk.

Mint ( Mentha species such as peppermint, spearmint etc.), garden sage (Salvia officinalis) and catnip (Nepeta cataria) will all dry up her milk.

I'm not familiar with barberry root as a medicinal, but if michaels4gardens recommends it, that's good enough for me!

I use it as a broad spectrum antibiotic-- and sick rabbits like it.. https://www.herbal-supplement-resource. ... -herb.html barberry decoction also kills pinkeye
