A government spokesperson said the infected sheep was a female who had been showing signs of mastitis, an inflammation of the breast tissue.

Engorgement - when breasts can become overly full with milk - can in some cases lead to mastitis, an infection caused by a blocked milk duct resulting in soreness and pain when breastfeeding.

She suffered from pre-eclampsia and had to have labor induced, then experienced a difficult delivery and developed mastitis afterward.

Emma feels like breastfeeding is not an option for her, after she contracted mastitis while breastfeeding her first child.

A new mother stands in a drugstore, holding a screaming infant as she fights mastitis, desperate to feed her baby.
