Nipples

[fuzzywuzzy]

Would anyone happen to have pictures of a doe's nipples that's nursing. I saw some pictures of doe with mastitis but to me they looked fine...I really couldn't see the problem...or maybe even pictures of a really bad case of mastitis.<br /><br />__________ Wed Jul 03, 2013 10:53 pm __________<br /><br />I have been doing searches, but I'm just not finding what I want. Didn't want anyone thinking I was being lazy and just asking questions without looking first.

I keep reading that mastitis will show with dark or reddened skin, as well as heat, swelling and hardness. What's expressed tends to be the actual infection, so odd colors and consistency.
Regular nursing teats are red and bald around the area, little round and warm, but soft.

:yeahthat: Also, the teats should be smooth and symmetrical on both sides. They should feel like a mini version of a human breasts and not lumpy or firm like they are inflamed and filled with thick puss rather than liquid milk.<br /><br />__________ Thu Jul 04, 2013 11:13 am __________<br /><br />http://m.petmd.com/rabbit/conditions/en ... tic_septic
