I noticed this heifer with a slightly runny eye and this pink growth by that eye a few days ago. She looked a bit off at the time. By today she seemed perfectly normal attitude wise, but cows were near the corrals and I brought her in to take her temperature and look at it up close. She did have a slightly runny nose and an occasional cough. Her temperature was 102.7, so only slightly high. The outside temperature has been close to 100 most afternoons, so that temperature did not really bother me, but we treated with LA 300, just to be safe. She was also covered with ringworm.I had never had it in the herd before and it is going through like wildfire right now. We have neighbor cattle up against us right now and I expect it came in over the fence.
The thing by her eye is actually rather pink, but I put some iodine on it. Since I had her in, I scraped on a bunch of her ringworm and sprayed it with iodine, and since I had it in my hand, I put a dab of iodine on this thing. Does anyone know what that thing is?
