Anyone else struggling with pinkeye? Have 4 or 5 herefords that are really struggling. Only one black cow so far. I have treated one hereford twice with LA 200 and went to vet yesterday and got some pen g and dex for a conjunctival injection. Looks a bit better today, but now the hereford bull has a bad eye, another hereford cow, and a couple calfs too. All calfs were vaccinated for pinkeye. Pastures are fairly short due to lack of consistent rain, and been pouring the cows for flys. I understand there is a new strand, moraxella bovoculi, of bacteria that does not respond as well to traditional treatments.
I have always treated in the past, but am beginning to wonder if the old adage is true: treated pinkeye will heal in a week, untreated takes about 7 days. Hmmmpfh?
