I did not have a case this year. I used an autogenous vaccine.
I was talking with Fire Sweep's embryologist last week. He wants to remain announimous but he confided that he has no faith in any vaccine for the genus Moraxella, not even an autogenous vaccine.
He was a practicing vet and said an animal can have pinkeye in its right eye. It recovers and 3 weeks later has pinkeye in the left eye. He said if the bovine can develop immunity to Moraxella, then it should have occurred during the first eye infection. I said true but what if the second infection is a different strain of Moraxella. He said possible but in his opinion there is NO effective vaccine for the genus Moraxella which is the most common genus involved in producing pinkeye in cattle.
He said don't tell anyone he said that because he doesn't want all the drug companies calling him. So his name shall remain announimous.
