Save a TEAT for me!!!!
Does anyone have any luck with bringing back a bad quarter at dry off? One of those cheesey thick puss quarter. I have heard of people useing Iodine up the teat, but was just wondering what you have tried.
Thanks,

quarter is soft no lumps, does not smell bad. She has been that way since early lactation. She is five months bred now so just trying to figure out what I can do to try and bring it back after dry off

not at all, once she lost it and couldn't bring it back just left it alone and thought about overtreating it durring the dry period with Quarter master or something like that

well thats the thing, I have seen quarters like this clear up with just dry treatments at dry off. Have been told that Iodine will dry upthe quarter and you would have a better chance of it comming back when she comes fresh. I have cleaned it out every so often so its not plugged. Didn't want to use any antibiotics while she is milking as we have tried the Polyflex and today, persue tubes. Was just trying to figure out what would be a little hotter and useing the benifits of dry off.

our vet recomended Iodine when we were in California, I just don't remember the dose. We would also use 60cc of Nolvasan to completly dry up the quarter forever on extream quarters that were hard, hot and just really jacked up.

I didnt say this but using drycow in a lactating cow and milking her into the bucket for a month or so could work.

Re: Save a TEAT for me!!!!
We use quartermaster on our worse lactating cases and you only have to hold it for a week to ten days. We have never held it for more than ten days. The added bonus is you can tell whne to start testing because you can see oil droplets on the surface of the milk when you are done milking her.
