General [General]
Inflammation frequently attacks the udder, which is found to be very hot, painful, and swollen.
REMEDIES: Aconite, Belladonna, Bryonia, Chamomilla, Phosphorus, Ipecacuanha and Arnica.
Aconite [Acon]
Aconite and Belladonna in alternation if the udder is painful, hot and inflamed.
Dose. Six or eight drops three times a day until better.
Bryonia [Bry]
Aconite and Bryonia, if it originates from cold.
Dose. The same as of Aconite and Belladonna.
Belladonna [Bell]
Belladonna, is most useful if it comes on a short time after calving.
Dose. The same as previously mentioned.
Chamomilla [Cham]
Chamomilla, if there is not much inflammation, skin of the udder loose and knots can be felt inside.
Dose. Eight or ten drops three times a day until relieved. It is also requisite to empty the udder several times a day.
Diminution of Milk: If arising from cold, and the general health is not affected, Chamomilla is a capital remedy; but if insufficient, Phosphorus should be given.
Dose. Ten drops twice a day.
Ipecacuanha [Ip]
Bloody Milk: Sometimes the milk from one or more of the teats is streaked with blood, in which Ipecacuanha is the best remedy that I know of; I have cured numbers of cases with it.
Dose. Ten drops night and morning.
Arnica [Arn]
If there has been an injury, then Arnica should be given, and the Arnica lotion used externally.
Dose. The same as of Chamomilla.
