eyes continued

[Anonymous]

It has been anywhere from 4-6 days since I gave la-200 to my pinkeyed friends. The 2 calfs that had the clouded eye, the tearing/weeping seems to have improved but the cloud isn't going away. When can I expect this to clear? In one of the cases there is a red ring around the cloud. Does that mean the eye has ulcerated? If so, and the eye has ulcerated is the animal perminately blind? After the shots should I still put the NFZ powder in the eyes?

It may take several weeks for the cloudiness to clear up also the redness. I'm unsure what the powder is, but the LA200 should clear it up. Jeanne

We had pinkeye in a cow last year, it was entirely cloudy and had the red ring, she couldn't see a thing. I gave her 20cc of LA penicillin and used 17900 ( mastitis treatment by Upjohn ). I just slid the applicator under her eyelid and squirted 1/3 of it in. I had to do a needle or 2 before the eye cleared up completely, and then I gave her another shot of the LA. It means a bit of handling but it worked and you would never know she spent a week being blind. Good luck. Del
