How do I know it's pink eye and not just an irritated eye from environmental things, like strong winds, dust etc?
We have a few, cows and calves, which have teary eyes. Not necessarily both eyes. They are not red, just a lot of tears flowing from it. Usually don't swell up either.
Of course there is the odd case throughout the year where an eye swells up shut, which I would consider pink eye then. Had 2 calves last fall coming from the summer pasture with pink eye and couldn't ship them with the rest due to swollen eyes and drug withdrawl time.
Considering vaccinating calves for pink eye, not sure though if that's really necessary or worth it?
What can you tell me?
