[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 938525, member: 852"] Depends what you're injecting... IBR is a virus, pinkeye is a bacteria. If you're injecting antibiotic and IBR clears up, it's just luck. As I'm sure you know, antibiotics do not have an effect on viruses. Pinkeye may take longer to clear up as the antibiotic has to kill/slow bacterial growth, and then it takes time for the tissues to heal. May take several days for healing to occur so that symptoms are gone. When IBR "clears up" it doesn't mean the virus is gone (IBR is a herpes virus; once an animal has it they always have it), just means the symptoms are gone. The initial case of IBR will likely take longer to disappear than subsequent cases, and flare-ups will be more likely to occur when the animal gets stressed. [/QUOTE]
