The cabbage Leaf did work ! I did some reading about it and this is what many woman put in their bras after they give birth to bring the swelling down. I thought Lola's teats were severe ,it was lumpy like cottage cheese and the veins/tiny vessels were dark purple looking. Within 2 days of the cabbage leaf plus squeezing some milk out.The swelling went down. The lumps took about a week to go down.
A quick visit to the vet is the best suggestion just so you can get Amoxcillin
at least.
Good luck with your girl,
