[Jacob-list] Extra Teat

[linda]

The only reason I even thought anything about this is that the 
consistency of the milk from the "normal" teat was so different from 
what I saw from the little teat.  I'm not sure if I can call it a 
vestigial teat, as it works.  I doubt it would feed a lamb, but 
wonder if it should be considered when dealing with mastitis.
