The doe’s
breasts are sore and refuse to nurse her litter or after a sudden weaning.
Soreness is cause by milk that was not removed completely from the breast.
Symptoms
Hard
knots form on the sides of the nipples and when you open the knot dried milk
revealed. The breasts also become clogged.
Treatment
Use
oil of camphor and rubbed it twice daily up to three or five days to break up
and removed the dried milk.
Prevention
Do not wean the young suddenly. Just in case the
litter dies or lost, check and observe the doe for symptoms because this often
leads to mastitis infections.
