[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 830760, member: 968"] So, I've been whining about the rain & mud. Well, it's still raining & the mud sure isn't getting better. Really stressing the cattle. I started making notes of different yearlings (and a few cows) with white matter in their eyes. Well, yesterday, we ran two cows & 4 yearlings thru the chute with cloudy eyes. Yes, the "spot" is off center, so I'm dealing with IBR??? (never had it - only know what I read on this board - sure isn't casued by flies :shock: ) History, by this stage, our yearlings have received 4 MLV (BoviShield 5L5, and cows get booster each spring (last month). Cattle with cloudy eyes are not acting "sick" at all. Great appetites & not at all droopy. So, I have to "assume" they "have" IBR but have enough immunity to fight off the bad affects - except for the eyes. What is the proper treatment for IBR?? for the eyes. We treated like we do for Pinkeye - Biomycin (like LA200) injections, mastitis antibiotic directly in the eye & patched any that were bad. So, what is the proper way to handle IBR bad eyes? Or, is it possible to use Dun's method of benign leglect? Hate giving antibiotic shots if we don't need to. [/QUOTE]
