Glad to hear about the "cut it off method". I have a cow with foot rot. I will cut its leg off tomorrow.

 

[glacierridge]

Really?
Why must you mock.

I am not a vet by any means, nor pretend to be one, but it really just looks like granulosa tissue that is trying to fill in. It is weeping a lot, so cleaning it daily would not hurt. I have not used Vetricine, but heard good things about it. Since it is safe around the eye, I would try. Another product we us in horses which helped grow back tissue and prevent scars was a product called Corena Ointment. You can find it at any store, and often at Walmart!

Awesome!!!
I will give that a try since it's easy to obtain.
Can't hurt.
Hopefully new pictures in the next week or two won't be so ugly...

Well claw amputation is a common salvage procedure for chronic hoof problems.

This may be a strange thing to ask, but I wonder if pink eye could set up with so much moisture and drainage coming from that eye now. I would think the flies might be visiting it. Do you think a Pink Eye shot would do any good at this point wbvs58?

 

[glacierridge]

Good news is, I never really see any flies after him.
Which I'm glad!

 

[Chuckie]

Good deal!

 

[inyati13]

Good deal!

You stay up late!!!

Chuckie is a she.

 

[glacierridge]

The he was supposed to be a she.

I just got up when I wrote that and doesn't check before I posted
:hide:

 

[glacierridge]

And...
Apparently I'm still half alive. Wow.
Bad grammar!

 

[glacierridge]

Pics from this morning.
I think he's very much improved from two weeks ago.
Some yucky eye booger going on, but really not looking too shabby... At least from before!

 

[inyati13]

Much better. When it clears, hopefully there is enough tissue to provide eye protection. You might want to try some eyewash.

 

[glacierridge]

The boys were cleaning out the shed for the 4 legged boys today. Eye looks so much better again!!
I'll get updated photos again, probably on Thursday.
Blinks in tandem, just doesn't look quite the same as the other and not NEARLY so ugly as before.
Yay!!

 

[glacierridge]

Oh and forgot to mention much drier looking too!!
The wound isn't really weeping anymore, just scabbed.
Good to see after my weekend of travel to see my other brother.

Not bad! He looked like he was in good health, they seem to have great recovery abilities when they're already healthy & have good nutrition.
I thought we had our first case of pinkeye(this year) 2 months ago in a 2 year old. We caught her and I decided she had an injury to her eyeball. I treated it like pinkeye, with LA200, veterycin, and a patch; 2 weeks later it was 90% better. Now you can't even see any scar tissue.

 

[glacierridge]

Looking good again!!!
And since he was in the sun, he's showing off how well he can shut his eye too
I think he still could have vision in it too, he didn't spook at all when I was out there, even welcomed getting some scratches.
