*the udder become blue & cold (gangrenous mastitis)
10-Mycotic mastitis:
)1(in case of cryptococcus:
*swelling of udder & supramammary L.N

successive days or streptopencid → 2 vial /12hr / I.M / 5 days
(in case of systemic reaction
only)
2. Udder infusion with antibiotic (in mastitis drug – in drug index)
N.B :
*It is very necessary to evacuate the quarter before infusion of
