[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1284804, member: 12607"] IBR & pinkeye... I'm kinda of the opinion that it's an old myth that gets repeated often enough that it becomes ingrained enough that everyone believes it. Maybe someone saw it one time way back when... Had a discussion with an old friend who's a Zoetis field service vet yesterday... the topic of IBR in pinkeye came up. They get called in on them all the time... have looked at thousands of them over the past 20 years...have NEVER been able to isolate or detect IBR from an animal with pinkeye. We rarely see IBR infection of any kind east of the Mississippi River; out west, yeah, they see it... maybe every 10 or 15 years, I'll see some mild IBR-induced respiratory disease or a few IBR abortions - but most of those abortions are due to folks using a MLV vaccine in cows/heifers that were not properly vaccinated previously. Salt in the eyes...it's archaic and barbaric, poor animal husbandry, period; and if they cleared up, it wasn't because you threw salt in their eyes. [/QUOTE]
