Believe it or not, I used Scour Halt for pigs! It worked great, and is cheap! You must put drops in 3x a day, in each eye. Also, put some paper towels (torn in half) in a coffee can and add Listerine. Use these wipes to clean the eye area of all the goo that is transferable to the other goats. You can also use the Teramycin ointment for the
eyes, or use Biomycin 200 (not LA200 as it burns the
eyes) - just remember the 3x a day rule, and to CLEAN it
well! Laurie Ann
Ron Keener just treated a goat for pink eye with I-D 1. I-D Supplement The stress of moving often trigger things like pink eye.Deidre and Bobbi
We also give our goats, should they get pinkeye, an injection of penicillin in flotation 1-1/2 CC's twice a day for a week. So far we haven't had any eye infections in over two years. Paula Blankenhorn
I did that and repeated after a couple of days, and a few days later. A couple of days after that, I had some terramycin and put around eyes. Pinkeye resolved fine, took a couple weeks. Rob Mahon

The best solution I have found for pink eye is dry cow mastitis treatment in the eye. Connie Wimmer
I did that and repeated after a couple of days, and a few days later. A couple of days after that, I had some terramycin and put around eyes.
