Onalee; Get in touch with your local vet or supply store. There is powder you put directly into the eye for pink eye. Works great. Sandy

I had sheep and goats off and on for many years and never had any pink-eye until now. I read an old post that indicated that washing their faces with baby shampoo helped (cured?) it, so I have done that today. Previously, I've put antibacterial salve in their eyes, washed their eyes with saline and gave them Pen-G. Today, I also gave them a shot of oxy-tetracycline (sp?) It seems to clear up for a while, then come back. I have washed the feeders out with bleach almost every day (I can't wash the whole fence!). Does anyone have any other ideas? Has anyone found a pink-eye VACCINE for sheep that works? I see plenty for bovine, but none specifically say sheep and one company I called said the bacteria that causes sheep pink eye is different from bovine. Any guidance would be appreciated!!
