Beware of Garget in Ewes at Lambing Time
Garget or inflammation of the ewe’s udder is common at lambing and demands immediate care. Heavy milking ewes with overfeeding, cold, or damp floors raise risk. Bath the udder in hot water, dry, rub with turpentine and lard or lead acetate mix, keep it wet with decoctions, milk thoroughly after each treatment, and give Tosot salts as a follow up.
