[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 152281, member: 2905"] Mitch Could possibly be a [i]Mycoplasma Bovis[/i] infection. [i]M. Bovis[/i] is a bacterial infection that has been rearing its ugly head the past few years, mostly in feedlot and stocker operation. This critter can settle in several places in the body including eyes, ears, lungs and joints. I think it will resemble pinkeye if it settles in the eye. . According to an article i read a few months ago, the only antibiotics that are effective on [i]M. Bovis[/i] are Nuflor and Baytril. The article mentioned that most antibiotics, including Micotil are not effective. I just bought a weaned 170lb holstein steer (cheap $40/hd)with a squinting eye, and a yellow discharge. I suspect this may be [i]M. Bovis[/i] as most of the pinkeye i see, seems to have a clear discharge in the early stages. I have treated with Baytril, but too soon to know if getting a positive response. Hope this sheds a little more light on the situation. Good luck & Merry Christmas Brock [/QUOTE]
