Regardless of what happens if she is not better by the morning I'll start LA 200 injections and squirt some in her eye also. Thanks to the great advice I found doing a search on the subject on this board. this is a great board.
That being said, I still question that it is pink eye. One cow has one runny eye. It is not as runny this evening as it was this morning. She is the only one showing any eye problem. I just moved them into winter quarters, a pasture with a loafing shed and manger attached to the hay barn. She was fine 3 days ago when I moved them in, I know because she is the most wild cow I have so I tend to watch her closer while moving them. We haven't had any fly problems or flies on the face for a couple of weeks now, getting too wet and cold, for flies. They have been banging around when feeding time comes, putting head through head stalls to feed. Eye appears to be slightly swollen around the complete eye socket and third eylid (?).
My question is how long does it take for pink eye to set in from the time eye becomes infected? Your thoughts, does this sound like pink eye?
Thanks,
Alan
