The economic impact of Pinkeye is enormous. Due to the pain and impaired vision, the affected animals suffer a severe setback. If left untreated, permanent blindness may occur. The predisposing causes of Pinkeye include dust, sunlight and flies. Sunlight can increase the severity of the disease and flies can also contribute to its spread. Covering the eye with a Pinkeye patch (after application of a suitable eye ointment) therefore offers an effective once only treatment (requiring only one yarding), which lessens the severity of the disease. This Pinkeye Patch Kit promotes the healing of the eye and helps prevent the spread of the disease throughout your herd. Contains 6 patches per packet, with glue to suit.
