I had pinkeye once. I opened up a minocycline capsule and mixed the yellow powder with a few tablespoons of water and put a single drop of it in my eye. It cleared up over night!
The biting insects are horrible here. I converted the backpack blower into a sprayer and started experimenting with insecticides last year. I found a few that work good for mosquitos:; cyclohalothrin, bifenthrin, and permethrin (that last one toxic to cats though) and have been using a mixture of bifenthrin and permethrin with great success, but none of the ones I've tried works for the horse and deer flies.
We finally got the check from the auction yard. Our steers went for almost $1,000 each for 800+ lb calves and the heifers sold for a little over $600 for 600 - 700 lb calves. It was a lot less than I expected. We'll take another load in by the end of July, and another load in September, if the grass holds out.
Have to honestly say I was pissed after seeing your post. What kind of persom doesnt pay attention to his heard and notice issues? I have almost 40 and still take notice of every individual goat.
someone who either doesn't care or knows nothing about animals,,,, just my opinion
Even if they do not know, they would seek out the answers if they actually cared and wanted answers . . .
Your doe could have become completely blind. . . The breeder you got her from didnt care apparently because that would have been more work for him. If you care for animals, you take the good and bad in my opinion.
her sight is coming back,, I don't know how much she will get back but at least now she isn't running into walls and tripping over things,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I hope for 50% or better but will take what I get,,,,,,,,,,, she will never leave here
Did the railroad "take" the land by eminent domain? Was he fairly compensated for the land? Either way I'm totally aginst eminent domain or takings of any kind for any reason.
I grew up in a very hot and dry climate in Oregon where pink eye was common. The cattle would get it from the flys and off the grass, plus it was contagious. We'd treat it by spraying a purple substance out of a can in to the eye. Cant remember the name now. It was generally very effective, but occasionally we'd have to do surgery with a sharpened spoon.
