And today... all was right with the world. 
Petunia still doesn't have much milk, but it's enough. The babies weren't hungry and nagging and Petunia spent the whole day with them. She took them out for walks, showed them how to browse in the scrub oak, took them to play on the rock pile, conversed with them, and just generally acted like a mother. Her udder feels normal now, if still a bit lopsided. I suppose it may to take a while for the left side to recover, but I hope it does. Last year I entered her in the futurity class at the CDGA Harvest Show, which means I'm supposed to bring her there this fall so they can judge how she turned out. I really hope her udder fills out and evens up enough by September for me to show her. I think it would be a pretty little udder if it healed. Perhaps not champion quality, but nothing to be ashamed of either. I did another mastitis test tonight and the milk was completely clear and normal. Tomorrow is the last day of Naxcel, so hopefully she's out of the woods enough to finish recovering on her own.
