[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1054745, member: 20599"] Agree it's been a very bad year. Have a 16 month old with it bad in both eyes. Have used Vetericyn, 2 shots of LA, and squirted Pen in eyes. She is loose with the other cows (2 of them are fighting it but much more mild cases). We have moved them to pasture w/o burrdock, have sprayed with Permethrin, have an oiler out....But flies are still awful. It's been about 2 weeks and no sign of improvement yet on the yearling. At this point, she appears to be totally blind but seems to be eating. I have watched her pee so she is finding the water tub. We had planned to AI her in a few weeks. I'm being advised that it's still ok to try AI (assuming she's in decent body condition then, of course). A few questions: Any sense in calling out vet at this point? (we would have initially but didn't have chute & headgate ready yet; vet won't come w/o it and I don't blame them. Once we got it finished, we were lucky and got her in it immediately and gave her the 2nd shot yesterday). Anyone thinking we should cull her before she loses condition? She's registered Angus. Any reason not to try to AI? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
