An adult buffalo was suffering with chronic mastitis since one month. Up on clinical examination, one of the quarters (RH) was hot and painful and others were normal in size with pyrexia (103.5°F), tachycardia (92/min) and tachypnea (33/min). The milk from the affected quarter was discolored and watery in consistency. Milk from the affected hind teats showed positive to the California mastitis test. The antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the culture isolates from the RH quarter were resistant to amoxicillin, streptomycin, trimethoprim, cephalexin, ampicillin, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, oxytetracycline and gentamicin. Isolates from the LH were resistant to amoxicillin, streptomycin, trimethoprim, enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline and gentamicin. Present buffalo was successfully treated with parentral ceftiofur sodium, intra mammary infusions along with supportive therapy.
