Goatkid is right about pinkeye affecting only one eye. However, keep in mind pinkeye is a generic term. Two young kids had it and nothing cleared it up till one got a couple of sutures put in the eye + several days of Pen G SQ, the other one just pen sq.
But yours does sound like some kind of injury and she does not look happy.
Keep rinsing it out and apply your neosporine till it clears up.
At this age it is probably not caused by chlamydia, which affects only newborns.
Sounds promising!!Keep up the good work!

How is she doing? Have you tried the tea bags on it? The picture of her at the hay feeder, does not look well. The main thing is make she she is not is a lot of pain.
I had a friend call me one day because her goat was in pain and something was wrong with his eye. When I go there, he had poked his eye with something and it was half hanging out. He was in so much pain we took him to the vet and had him put down.
I sure hope you see a improvement. Use that tea bags and neosporin it really helps. I do not think it sounds like pink eye at all

Well, I will be the first to admit that I am never too old to learn. I always thought that Pink eye got both at the same time.

How is she doing today?

She is doing better her eyes are opening. Her eyes are not runny at all. I will just keep her on the antibotic for 10 or so days. We washed her eye out and it slowly went out of that shoved up postition. When she looks at you they are both lined up correct! She is still acting like she doesn't feel well.

Yes she is eating very well and loved her molasses antibotics water. She is quite the little piggy. If she is got to sick to eat you know that she is near to the point of death hehehe.

Today her eye is 3/4 open. However it is very runny. Isn't acting so sick. Ran to get her food. She was standing when I went out. Looking better!

Glad to here that, I would keep up with the eye wash and the neosporin to keep all the drainage from matting up. You could also put vasoline on the hair around the outside of her eye to help keep the runny stuff from sticking and matting.

Her eye is pretty much totally healed. She has a bluish cloudyness in it. Even so that is going away.

That cloudiness will eventually go away. She may have a spot or two that doesn't, but it will not affect her vision. I had a cat who saw fit to stick his head in a Fox hole, needless to say his eye was so scratched up, I was sure he would lose it and if he didn't, he would be blind. It was totally white. He healed up just fine, but if you look he does have a cloudy spot or two, but he sees just fine.
