[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1154762, member: 12607"] bigfoot, We've been isolating, for the past few years, some strains of pinkeye bacteria - particularly Moraxella ovis - that are resistant to oxytetracycline, explaining why some folks are having total 'treatment failures' with LA 200/300. Draxxin may get the job done for you; I dunno, as I've never used it. cbcr, I'm not saying I've never done anything the wrong way, 'cause I've done stupid with zeros on the end of it, and have forgotten lots of stuff that I've not used in 25 years, but your vet is WRONG to have mixed those two drugs, or to have recommended that you do so. It's a basic no-no. If all you gave was a 3cc injection of the mixture in the eyelid, I'll almost guarantee that the patch was your key to effective treatment. Sure, as long as the stuff is leaking out the hole you made going in, it's bathing the eye - but once the needle prick closes, it's no different than if you'd given that 3cc shot back in the hip. And, anything you squirt in the eye is washed out by normal tear action in 10 minutes or so - even faster if they're tearing excessively. I've had mixed successes using the commercial pinkeye vaccines. Haven't used one in nearly 10 years. But, if you're (generic you) vaccinating and not having any cases, I'm not gonna recommend that you stop. Oh, and you folks who were gonna recommend throwing salt or squirting diesel fuel or WD-40 in their eyes... don't hold back - I have a friend who was eagerly awaiting your responses! ;<) [/QUOTE]
