Clinical mastitis in an Etawah crossbreed ewe
Downloads
Mastitis in small ruminants presents significant challenges in veterinary medicine owing to its impact on animal welfare and productivity. This case study documents clinical mastitis in a four-year-old postpartum Etawah crossbred ewe. During the physical examination, inflammation was noted in the right mammary gland. The ewe's condition deteriorated due to open sores, which developed because of the friction between the mammary gland skin and the floor while the ewe was recumbent. The lesion expanded, producing purulent exudate that eventually formed scabs. Discontinuing milking in the affected mammary gland adversely affects its health, as milk accumulation in the alveoli facilitates bacterial growth and proliferation. The treatment regimen included penicillin and sulpidon; however, the ewe's condition continued to decline, indicating ineffectiveness of the treatment.
