[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 861652, member: 12607"] Anything you squirt into the eye - even if it is a medication specifically formulated for use in the eye, will be flushed out, by normal tearing, within at least 10-15 minutes. It's far better to inject the animal with the appropriate dosage of oxytetracycline(LA-200, Tetradure, etc.) - as the antibiotic reaches the same level in tears that it does in other body fluids, so the eye is being constantly bathed with a therapeutic concentration of tetracycline. The use of hydrogen peroxide, as you're describing, probably does no harm, but it's not what's affecting 'the cure'. I will caution any reading your stuff that the 'massaging' you're advocating certainly could rupture an ulcerated cornea. There is so much bullcrap put out on the internet about miraculous 'cures' for pinkeye. In most cases, it's an issue of the cattle healing up IN SPITE of the junk that folks squirt in their eyes.
