Bovine Pink Eye
Pinkeye is a highly contagious bacterial disease of the eye of cattle. The signs of pinkeye are swelling and redness of the conjunctiva, excessive tearing, and squinting due to pain. After a few days an opaque spot may appear in the center of the cornea –the clear surface of the eye. If allowed to progress the entire cornea will become white or yellow color with deep ulceration of the cornea. Affected cattle usually have a decreased appetite due to pain and discomfort. The disease may permanently impair vision or result in blindness or loss of the eye.
