[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1154539, member: 16303"] The are different vaccines for pinkeye, they do help some. You need to make sure that the vaccine you use has the most number of strains in it. Also you can swab their eyes and your vet can send it to a lab to see what you have and a vaccine can made for it. Check with your local vet as others may have also had this issue with pinkeye and he may already have a vaccine based on what other in the area seem to have that you can use while you wait on the results. Was at a place 2 years ago that had it terrible in one group of cattle. We vaccinated on another group, and vaccinated the calves even at a week old and the local vet had (just like I mentioned above) a vaccine that had been made that had several different strains of pinkeye vaccine that was from eye swabs in the area) that second group of cattle seemed to get along pretty well and there were hardly any cases of pinkeye in that group of cows. They were put in with the group that was having all of the problems. Also one of the thing to do is to use draxxin and penicillin mixed and put the shot in the eyelid so that it will slowly coat the eyeball. You can make patches out of some old blue jeans, but put a patch over the eye. [/QUOTE]
