[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1584217, member: 27490"] Here is an excellent article on pinkeye. It is dated 2009 and applies to pinkeye in Virginia which is where you are. Note Moraxella bovis is found in the normal eye of most cattle. Dust, hot weather, seed heads, or a scratch trigger it. The tetracyclines (LA 200 is an example) are recommended for treatment in all stages. It is a 10 year old article so resistance is an issue. NOTE: many of the pinkeye sprays are a waste of money. Lucky_P has confirmed that in previous posts. For example, the pinkeye spray vetericyn active ingredient is Hypochlorous Acid, which is not an antibiotic. If you want to wash the eye when you are administering an antibiotic, get a spray bottle at Walmart and make a mild solution of bicarbonate of soda (baking powder). Works well and refreshes the eye. https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/400/400-750/400-750.html [/QUOTE]
