[QUOTE="BrazosBottomHand, post: 1689217, member: 26764"] Also like someone else said, flies are the main culprit and an ounce of prevention is worth a lb. of cure. High grass and weeds can do it too but probably at least 90% is flies. I put a fly tag in each ear when the flies start getting bad and this takes care of most pinkeye problems as long as the tags are working well. Pour- on can work too, esp. with a little extra drop on the forehead. However pour-on usually only lasts about half as long as fly tags ( depending on the weather). Don't forget you need to rotate classes of active ingredients from year to year on whatever you use for your fly repellent. Also when you are giving an LA200 or Draxxin you are not vaccinating, you are just treating with an antibiotic. You are only vaccinating when you give a vaccine, not an antibiotic. Hope I don't sound like a tool on this lol. Just that I went for a long time not knowing and I was really embarrassed looking back on how long I said vaccinate when I was using an antibiotic.
