Response to blind calf

from Kate Henderson (sheeplady@catskill.net)
I agree that it sounds like pinkeye. La200 and triple antibiotic eye ointment will cure this. But check closely to see if the bottom eyelid could be turned in. This is called entropian. It can be corrected surgically or in mild cases with tape or small metal clips on the skin below the eye. If you want to keep this calf I would have a vet check it. Not treating pinkeye or the inverted eyelid can lead to permanent blindness.
