[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1684555, member: 39792"] About 2 weeks ago started with one cow with an irritated eye. Got her in chute, did a sweep of the eye to check for foxtail/sticker in eye. Found nothing. Applied Terramycin to eye and next day it was completely better. Just today, noticed another heifer with a swollen, closed, watery eye. Haltered, and swept out the eye and found nothing. Applied Terramycin this morning and tonight and it’s still irritated but I think slightly better. Now tonight I found another heifer with a squinty, watery eye... going to get her in the squeeze tomorrow and do the same thing I did to the other 2. Is there anything else I’m missing?? Flies have been horrible this year. My cows are generally pretty friendly so I can shoot them with fly spray, but I think I’m going to need to try a dust bag of some sort. How about a pink eye vaccine? Should I be trying to use the Shut-eye patches? Just frustrated that this is happening. I check my cattle nearly everyday so I know I am ahead of it but sheesh... can we get a break lol! [/QUOTE]
