Just wanted to say thanks for all your help yesterday. I dont know that it was full on mastitis because I have managed to get it under control myself (I think). The lumps are gone this morning but I still have the stabbing pains when he drinks. I figure though that its a good sign having no lumps.

Catherine, thanks for the hint not to put the cabbage leaves in the freezer. The frost bite probably took away some of the pain because then she had another pain to think about. hehe. I ditched the cabbage leaves. They only worked for a few minutes.

Danni, I'll stay away from panadeine as well. Thanks for that.

Thanks again for your advice. I think it had worked.
