[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1057117, member: 20599"] Yes. We have given her 2 rounds of LA, and squirted her eyes with Pen twice. We have not given her anything else since that (so, last treatment was a week ago now). She is getting knocked a little by a few of the other cows. We are watching that closely, and if it continues or worsens will maybe have to put her in a pen. (we tried once but she got out, and she was lucky not to hurt herself doing so, so we didn't want to risk it by trying again). For the most part, she is staying near the herd, and seems to be eating and getting water. I had hoped yesterday that she was maybe seeing at least some shadows, but then today she was bumping into barbed wire and I think really isn't seeing a thing. It's now been over 3 weeks; if she does get sight back, is it likely to take awhile yet? Or conversely, at what point do we resign ourselves to her being blind? Poor bugger was in heat in the middle of the worst of it, and getting ridden! We plan to AI her in 2 weeks along with the others; everyone (vet, AI tech, long-time farmers, etc) is telling us she should do fine, but I sort of hate to put her through it....On the other hand, she's not a pet, so it's either try to breed her or slaughter her, so I guess maybe AI at least gives her a chance....
