I am also having udder trouble in my maiden 30 year old Arab/Quarter
pony.Three years ago, the left side starting swelling and producing
pure colostrum (according to my vet). He gave a hormonal injection
and it cleared up after about a month. Last May, the left side started
up again, and is still producing milk regularly. If I don't manually
"milk" her every 2 days, she will have a long cylindrical hard swelling
running from the udder toward her front. The swelling and udder are
not hot or painful. Horse has been on Equine Senior and fescue pasture
for several years. She did develop hind end lameness in September and
was treated for EPM. She still has the udder trouble and lameness.
Any connection between the two, and any suggestions to stop the udder
from producing the milk? My vet has no solution on the udder except
more hormone shots. Also, could a tumor be causing this? Thanks for
any info!
