[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1565286, member: 27490"] This past week, I observed a cow with her left eye closed and tears dripping. She had a tear icicle hanging from her cheek. My first thought was pinkeye. It took me a couple times of squeezing her up in the chute to isolate the cause. I used two halters to immobilize her head. The first time I put her in the chute I could not see an issue so I flushed her eye with an isotopic solution of bicarbonate of soda. Couple days later, it was worse. This time when I got her head totally immobilized, I used a rattail file as a roller and was able to roll her upper eyelid inside out. She has a large lesion on the inside surface of her eyelid. It had formed a puslike scab. I probed the scab and cleaned it. I flushed her eye again with bicarbonate of soda. As a precaution, I administered an antibiotic. I also noticed a white streak on her cornea. I am assuming an object entered her eye and grazed across her cornea and went up under her upper eyelid. Fortunately, it did not enter the eyeball. Today her eye is looking much better and she has it open. [/QUOTE]
