[QUOTE="George Monk, post: 658565, member: 3545"] I have had some calves in the last three years that get pinkeye early. two were only days old. The first calf this year was 7 weeks old. We vaccinated the calves this year with pinkeye vaccine at about a week old. Vet saids go ahead...can't hurt. Wasn't sure if it would do any good 'cause of the age and immunity but what the heck. Well with the occurance of another early case I am not satisfied. We are discussing getting an autonomus vaccine for pinkeye. I was also considering giving a pinkeye shot to the cows 6-8 weeks before calving. Hopefully this would boost the colosterum and maybe fend off these early cases. Once the calves get some age I usually don't have pinkeye. Kinda frustrating. I wouldn't stress too much about these cases 'cause they heal quickly with a shot of LA 200 but we are a cooperative herd for a fellow who produces show calves. Comments very welcome. thanks George [/QUOTE]
