One very important preventative measure is to ensure you provide clean and dry
bedding. Lactating ewes can be more susceptible to mastitis if they are forced
to bed in wet and confined areas.

Just a thought, and this has nothing to do with mastitis. I have a friend who
has been raising sheep for years. When she has triplets, she always take one
away from the mother and gives it to someone else to bottle feed or she does
herself.
She told me, Liz/ with triplets, they all suffer. On
That should have read - massaged her udder with a MOIST warm towel.

Hi Jim,
We had a ewe several years ago who I believe had mastitis. It was her second
birthing, twins, and her udder had become the size of a Dutch oven the day
after the twins were born. It was hard and the lambs had trouble nursing.
One teat seemed to work better than the other. I tried readi
Mastitis is a real pain. You need to feed the lambs on a bottle and
restrict their access to that udder milk. They can get an infection
from it. You can infuse the udder with Penicillin, based mastitis
treatment. You will have to use cattle treatments as there are none
available for sheep.
