Pink eye?

This is one more legitimate reason to have some type of cattle handling facilities too.

You shouldn't own cattle with an attitude like that.

Good housekeeping is the best way to prevent this problem from occurring in the first place.....Topside

Not always. Seen a lot of blind or half blind critters from pinkeye. Sure does knock the value of a 500 lb steer that is blind. Worse yet if it is a bull or part of your cow herd.

I have treated many cases of pinkeye with a shot of penicillin (1- to 1 1/2 CC) into the eyelid for three days. Never had one that did not get better IF caught in time. A vet told me that any type of protein based meds would work. He said he had even used protein based injectable vitamins that worked well.

Another benefit for having equipment or facilities for working cattle. They must be immobilized to give the shot in the eyelid.
