How do you get it under control? I bought in 40 sheep and isolated them in the shed. Some have develop cloudy blue eyes blinking and watery eye. The vet has treated the problem group but has had to treat two more today. They are improving but more seem to be getting the problem. What do i do apart from separating the infected?
Silage eye!!!

tetra delta, or the most mastitis cow tube direct onto the eye will work aswell,
you must have strong bug working if theses don't clear it,
could be worth getting it cultured to find out exactly what one your dealing with
I will keep an eye and hope the alamycin is doing its job, if not i will do that. I just feel it is spreading very quickly, only previous case i had was an orphan lamb which i caught before it could spread among the flock.

Out of curiosity, are they on hard feed in the shed, or would they have been fed intensively before they came to you?

IM alamycin and a puff of alamycin aerosol in the eye…… you would of course get the mega expensive clear version specifically made for eyes wouldn’t you? 
Are they texel?
We seem to have had more eye issues since keeping them.

hahah yes of course i would. I used the LA alamycin i use for any feet issues and beyond. I have noticed a price jump lately.IM alamycin and a puff of alamycin aerosol in the eye…… you would of course get the mega expensive clear version specifically made for eyes wouldn’t you?

Thanks for the reply, I was watching a video about nutrition (cattle mostly) but one bit was about excess protein causing issues with mucous membranes, i.e. coughing and pink eye, but doubt it has any relevance for your sheep!
