[QUOTE="Koffi Babone, post: 1138169, member: 22429"] IBR is a viral disease caused by a herpes virus. It is mostly associated with shipping fever. Although the eyes may be affected, there are usually respiratory signs as well. This disease cannot be cured via antibiotherapy, but can be prevented by vaccination (vaccines vs shipping fever will state against which bugs they are effective). If conjunctivitis (aka as pink eye) is the only sign you see on your animal, it is probably of bacterial origin. This is usually transmitted by flies (especially at this time of the year). A penicillin based or tetracycline based antibiotic should be effective (but do not combine both together). You can also try mastitis antibiotic tubes (the ones that you squirt into the teats). Squirt a strip across the eye and gently massage the eye lid, twice a day for 3 days. If there is no improvement, call your vet. Draxxin should work but is a very expensive drug to use as first choice. [/QUOTE]
