🐐 Udderly surprising, right?!
Patient Spotlight: Thelma (and her emotional support sister, Louise who can be seen getting some extra love from Jenna, one of our CVT's!)
Thelma came to see us for an udder that had been gradually enlarging over the past few months, despite not having had kids in years.
On exam, her vitals were normal and her udder was not hot, painful, or firm, helping rule out mastitis or infection.
🩺 She was diagnosed with precocious udder development—a hormonally driven change that can occur even without recent pregnancy.
💡 The good news:
This can be a benign condition, but it’s important to monitor.
⚠️ What to watch for:
• Heat, pain, or firmness
• Abnormal discharge
• Changes in behavior or appetite
Thelma will be keeping things udder control at home with close monitoring💙
