[QUOTE="ok_cntrygrl7, post: 752040, member: 14126"] I have a heifer,(black) jersey angus mix.will be a year old in may. Since being turned out in the pasture with 2 older cows, I noticed she has a dried, hairless area around one of her eyes. The patch is about 2/3 the way around her eye, it's about 2inches wide from the top of her eye and narrowing as it goes around the outside of her eye to just under the eye. I have also noticed my 2 other heifers with a round spot on their back leg about 2 or 3 inches up from the hoof, and 1 of them has signs of hair loss around one of its eyes. she is a (black) jersey angus mix be a year in June. The othe heifer is also a jersey angus mix a year in june also, but is brown in color. She is not yet showing any signs of hair loss around the eye. The 2 of these are in a smaller area by themselves. During the ice storm both (black) heifers got sickly, not eating runny nose and eyes, laying around, we gave them a dose of LA-200. They perked up and was ok. Any suggestions as what this could be and how to treat it? I have treated ringworms before on cows but if this is a ringworm I never treated any thing around the eye before. I have recently put a salt and mineral lick in the pasture for the first heifer and 2 big cows. Thanks for any advice. ok_cntrygrl7 [/QUOTE]
