my goat eye is hurt with pics at the bottom of page

[20kidsonhill]

to me the entire eye socket looks swollen compared to the other side. Is anyone else seeing that???, Pink eye wouldn't cause all that swolling, I don't think it would. LA 200 or any oyxtetracyclene injectable, is the best treated for pink-eye, you can give her a shot once a day at the rate of 1cc per 40lbs and put som in the eye.

But to me that looks like a lot of swelling. Maybe it is just the angle of the photo.

Pink eye isn't always the START of the disease process. It looks to me like this doe has injured her eye - perhaps a foreign object in the lid that also rubbed the globe and brought on pink eye.

I would check inside the lids as best you can for the irritant or cut...

Still - it has TURNED INTO pink eye.

Everyone please remember, pink eye isn't ALWAYS chlamydia, either...there are other causes.

If she were here, I would put her on Biomycin both SQ (3 cc per 100 lbs daily) AND 3 drops in the affected eye 2x/day.

Pink eye CAN cause the eye to rupture, but it's uncommon with supportive therapies. Yes, it will return to normal barring rupture.

Besides the entire orbit being swollen what's also of concern is the cloudiness of the cornea. Even if you just use an eye ointment you need to get antibiotics in there. And preferably no steroids (check your labels, some ointments also have steroids) I suggest topical eye ointment and an injection, until you can have a vet check it. Ahh, weekends!
