[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1269748, member: 852"] If it smells bad there may be more going on than just the standard pinkeye. Sounds like a place where getting your veterinarian involved would be a good investment. Otherwise, antibiotics in the cow, not the eye. Steroids tend to cause corneal ulcers in common species except cows, so the professors at school said; I've seen them treated with sub conjuctival injections, systemic injections, no treatment, patch only..... the jury is still out for me. I treated a bad one today with pen/dex subconjunctival and draxxin SQ (but then it also had respiratory disease). Also did an enucleation, but that calf's problem was trauma not pinkeye. They do seem to heal regardless of how bad they get, however as mentioned you'll get docked at the sale ring and painful eyes cause lower weight gains, so.... Also evaluate your mineral program.
