Description
Schären-Bannert and co-authors (2023) report the treatment of a suckler cow whose front left teat had narrowed so much that her calf could not nurse. The four-year-old Simmental cow arrived at the clinic with her calf, four days into milking. Scans and milk tests showed narrowing along all three parts of the teat channel, with inflammation and mild chronic mastitis. The owner's repeated use of a stiff teat tube had likely made things worse.
The team first treated the inflammation with an udder product, a pain reliever, a wax teat insert, and bandaging. Within a week, the mastitis and the upper and middle narrowing had cleared. A scope through the side of the teat then removed the lower narrowing. The wound healed within days. The calf nursed well, and a check four and a half months later found normal milk output.
