Rams' Eye

It is probably an infection (how old is the ram?) I treat eye infections with tetracycline injections IM into the neck.

The Ram is about 21/2 years old. Is there a way that I can know for sure what it is? Is it ok to treat even if it is not infection? Greg

Every injection carries some risk but tetracycline in general is not a problem if it's not an infection. In a younger animal like your's I'd be more certain it is an infection rather than a catyract (sp?) You're best advice always comes from a vet second from and experienced person who can see it, and third or even further down the list from the internet where we can't see it. Pipestone vet offers a free telephone help line phone number for a phone consultation. ( it's in the sheep basics post)
