It could be as simple as having a hull or something like that on the eyeball. Get her in the chute and tie her head off to the side. Take a look at the eye and you'll probably see something on there. I also put a bunch of sugar in her eye, it helps heal the eye.

lots of the time it will clear up on its own, but i have squirted a little la 200 directly into the eye with a syringe (without the needle) and it has cleared it right up.
i suppose it depends on the problem, and from the picture it is hard to tell much about her eye except that it is watering, and that it is bothering her some because she has her eye partly closed.

its hard to tell but it looks like there is some swelling about 3 or 4 inches down below the eye right by the bridge...

Looking at the swelling and watering eye, you might look at an impacted tooth with synus infection.@

Let us know how she is tomorrow.
I'm seeing a *lot* of this, sometimes both eyes, since moving to this farm. Don't recall ever seeing it before. Cow will have one or both eyes shut, watering, sometimes appearing to be swollen - I go and peel the eyelid back and can't see anything but eye-ball, no mucous, hay seed, anything like that. Then next day I'll check her eyes and she'll be looking at me just fine.
I'm presuming the dust is particularly bad here, but it's a bit of a mystery.

Different pasture have different risks for eye scratching or debris. Different weeds - pucker brush, thistle - different trees - pines. Especially fields with prickly type seedy weed that could brush off and get stuck in there.
Update - bought some la200 and I guess just the purchase of it healed her!! Saturday the eye was much better and hardly noticable. Guess it must have been some debris and she worked it out...
Thanks for all the input!

Glad to hear she is doing better now. Many times they will get something in there and it won't come out. I've had a couple beef cows that I didn't notice right away. They will start to get a spot and begin to go blind if it doesn't get taken out.
