Clinical Management of Gangrenous Mastitis in A 3-Year-Old Sahel Doe: A Case Report

Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland, typically caused by infectious microorganisms or physical injury to the udder. In this case, a milk sample was cultured on blood agar, and a catalase test was performed as part of the biochemical identification. Surgical intervention involved amputation of the affected teats, followed by closure of the udder using a simple continuous suture pattern. Postoperative management included administration of antibiotics, multivitamins, anti-inflammatory drugs, and analgesics. Laboratory results indicated the growth of Staphylococcus aureus on blood agar, with the catalase test yielding a positive result.
