Suturing the Nictitating Membrane for Treatment of Pinkeye in the Bovine

Abstract

Keratoconjunctivitis, commonly called pinkeye, has been a recognized condition in cattle for many years. Over the years, treatment methods have varied. Some were successful, others failed.

The old-timers talked about pinkeye vaccine which has only become a reality recently; and we wonder about their efficiency.

The spread of eye pathology from cow to cow has no doubt been a bigger problem with the advent of the facefly.
