" Editor- Descret Farmer: Please answer through columns of the Farmer Far-mer the5 following: I have cow afflicted With what seems to be a disease of the eye. The eye waters and is covered with a white scum. The sight seems to be gone. After a week or two the film leaves and the sight is restored. I' -liave' heard that the disease is "Pink Eye:" If so what remedy could be used. - Yours truly, ' J. A'. BEIRDNEAU. (Periodic Ophthalmia) Pink Eye. Thcdiseasc you speak of is undoubtedly un-doubtedly pink eye frorii the description descrip-tion you have given. It is a disease that has been quite prevalent in .different .differ-ent parts of this state and is most commonly found on wet, low pastures. The eye becomes affected and in many cases the animal gets entirely blind in one or both eyes. Animals that contract this disease should be isolated, not allowing any other animals to associate with them as they arc capable of transmitting the disease. They should be removed from the wet pasture; onto high and dry ground if possible, and it would be preferable during the attack of this disease .to. keep the animal in a darkened stable. Wash the eye two or three -times a day with a five per cent solution of boric acid and apply a pack of cotton cot-ton saturated with the same solution over the eye. This has proven 'benc-fc.ficial 'benc-fc.ficial and has relieved the condition in u. very short time. |
