I've treated a bunch of pink-eye this year, I was considering the vaccine this spring but I was too cheap. Anyway, I've used shots under the eyelid of Penicillin and Dexamethasone with patches on some. There were two calves, who happened to be twins, that I brought into our old tie stall barn. They both got it in both eyes. The twin girl (freemartin) is the first one to get pink eye and is finally starting to look better, her brother has been getting the same treatment and only gotten worse. I've also been giving SQ injections of LA-200. The steer I'm concerened with has heavy swelling in the eye, I'll be suprised if he doesn't loose his sight, not sure what else I can do for him. He's not tearing up much anymore, a little discharge, but the eye itself looks terrible. I'm open to further suggestion.
