Infectious Pinkeye of Cattle Causes of pinkeye Contributing factors Characteristic signs of pinkeye Effective treatment of pinkeye ... Summary Adapted from Agdex 663-11 - Also available in pdf format - 124 KB Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK or pink-eye) is a disease known to most cattle producers in Alberta. It can affect the eyes of beef or dairy cattle at any age, although range calves and feedlot cattle are the most frequent victims of the disease. The infection rarely results in death, but production losses in an affected herd may be significant. A 1976 survey in the United States estimated that disease losses due to pink-eye amounted to about $23.00 per animal treated. Severely infected cattle, suffering pain, will lose both appetite and body condition and in the worst cases can starve to death. Herd outbreaks can involve up to 80% of the animals and last from three to four weeks. Causes of pinkeye There is controversy among researchers about the cause of pinkeye. Some consider pinkeye to be a syndrome, rather than a specific disease entity caused by the bacterium Moraxella bovis . This is because many different environmental factors as well as a number of different kinds of bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas and even worm parasites of the eye appear to play a role in herd outbreaks of infectious pinkeye. Tear secretions in cattle appear to be deficient in an enzyme that kills bacteria (lysozyme). Recent work has shown that infected carrier animals may be of major source of infection. A carrier is an animal that may or may not have suffered from pinkeye in the past and may show no outward signs of disease. Nevertheless, in the presence of a number of predisposing factors, this animal is still able to spread the

Don Hudson, D.V.M, Extension Veterinarian Duane N. Rice, D.V.M., Extension Veterinarian Previous Category Catalog Order Info Clinical Signs ... Treatment Pinkeye (infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis) is a common infectious disease affecting the eyes of cattle. The name describes the redness and inflammation of the conjunctiva (lining of the eyelid and eyeball), an early sign of the disease. Pinkeye was once thought to be a summertime disease in white-faced cattle, but it is now known to occur at all seasons of the year and in all breeds of cattle. Clinical Signs One or both eyes may be involved. Excessive weeping of the affected eye and closure due to pain are the two signs most commonly observed. As the disease progresses, the cornea becomes cloudy or white. An ulcer (eroded circular spot) frequently develops near the center of the cornea. Blood vessels often extend into the cornea from the white of the eye (sclera) as the healing processes begin. Cattle with pinkeye keep the affected eye or eyes closed because of pain and to avoid bright sunlight. They lose weight because they are reluctant to forage for feed and water. The course of the infection may run for 4 to 8 weeks, or even longer.

11. Conjunctivitis From Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the web. http://www.drreddy.com/pinkeye.html

Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Conjunctivitis, or "pink eye", is an irritation of the eye. There are many ways your eyes can become irritated. Often, something floating in the air can bother your eyes: these include smoke and dust, which irritate the eyes directly, or airborne allergens such as plant pollens and animal dander. Chemical vapours in the air can also irritate the eyes, as you've noticed if you cry when you chop onions. Your eyes can also be irritated by bacterial or viral infections. Many common viruses, including the flu and adenoviruses , irritate the eyes as well as make you feel lousy in other ways. Bacteria can also infect the eye; bacterial conjunctivitis is often more serious than viral, but we can treat bacterial conjunctivitis with antibiotic eyedrops. Often, though, bacterial conjunctivitis improves in 4-5 days even without antibiotics. Of course, as with many other infections, we can't tell if conjunctivitis is bacterial or viral unless we culture the goop coming out of the eye. In a lot of cases, though, we simply treat without cultures: this way, even if the conjunctivitis is viral, we can prevent bacterial "superinfection", such as periorbital cellulitis . (This is one of the very few exceptions to the rule that I never give antibiotics unless I culture first to see what I'm treating.) Allergic conjunctivitis classically shows up as itching, sometimes with a little mucus. It's often seen only at certain times of year, and is very frequent in patients with

Diseases of Cattle HOME ANAPLASMOSIS ANTHRAX BLACKLEG ... WOODEN TONGUE PINKEYE Pinkeye ( infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis ) is a common infectious disease affecting the eyes of cattle. The name describes the redness and inflammation of the lining of the eyelid and eyeball. Although pinkeye is non-fatal, it has a marked economic impact on the cattle industry. It is known to occur at all seasons of the year and in all breeds of cattle. Pinkeye and foot rot are the two most prevalent conditions affecting all breeding beef females One or both eyes may be involved. Excessive weeping of the affected eye and closure due to pain are the two signs most commonly observed. As the disease progresses, the cornea becomes cloudy or white. An ulcer (eroded circular spot) frequently develops near the center of the cornea. Cattle with pinkeye keep the affected eye or eyes closed because of pain and to avoid bright sunlight. They lose weight because they are reluctant to forage for feed and water. The course of the infection may run for 4 to 8 weeks, or even longer. As the eye begins to heal, white scar tissue infiltrates the cornea. In most cases this scar will gradually disappear as healing progresses and vision will be restored. However, in severely affected eyes, a white scar often persists and interferes with vision. If the ulceration is severe enough to penetrate all layers of cells forming the cornea, the fluid in the eyeball will escape. This results in the iris and/or lens protruding partially or entirely through the ulceration. If this occurs, there will be permanent blindness in the affected eye.

Links YOUR HEALTH: Conjunctivitis / Pinkeye Conjunctivitis is the term used to refer to irritation and inflammation of the delicate membrane that covers the insides of the eyelids and the outer surface of the eye (conjunctiva). Irritation and inflammation of the conjunctival membrane can be caused by an infection, allergies or chemical and other irritants. Infections involving the conjunctiva of the eye are most commonly caused by a bacteria. One particular form of bacterial conjunctivitis is highly contagious and is commonly referred to as 'pinkeye.' Conjunctival infections may also be caused by a virus (such as the viruses that cause the common cold, sore throat and measles). Symptoms of conjunctivitis may involve one or both eyes and may include: redness tearing or watering burning or stinging feeling like there is sand or dust in the eye(s) sensitivity to light discharge (may be clear or whitish, yellowish or greenish pus) crusting around the edges of the eyelids eyes seem "glued shut" in the mornings swollen eyelids Treatment of conjunctivitis: The treatment of conjunctivitis depends very much on what is causing the irritation and inflammation of the conjunctiva. This may be difficult to determine without an examination and testing by a health care professional. Particularly in cases where there is eye discharge that looks like pus, a swab of the eye discharge may be sent to the lab to determine if it is an infection.

Avoiding The conjunctiva lines the inside of the eyelids, extends into the space between the eyelid and the eyeball, and covers part of the "white" of the eyeball. Pinkeye is the descriptive term used when the conjunctiva gets inflamed and the eyes appear red or pink (conjunctivitis). It is common. Sometimes pinkeye clears up with simple improvement in hygienic practices, but often it requires medical treatment. Causes/Symptoms of PINKEYE Allergies: Some people are allergic to items in the environment. These could be, for example, pollen, grasses, dust, pet dander, smoke. Exposure to the irritant can cause the eyes to become inflamed, watery, and itchy. Usually this inflammation clears up readily upon removal of the irritant. Viral Infection: If the eyes are infected with a virus, they often appear inflamed, have somewhat swollen lids, feel tender, and have a watery discharge. Bacterial Infection: Besides the inflammation, a bacterial infection usually causes the eyes to burn or hurt and the lids to swell. The eyes often get a white or yellowish drainage & are often "crusty" (dried drainage) when waking up in the morning.

Introduction Pinkeye (infectious bovine kerato-conjunctivitis) is a bacterial infection of the eye which causes inflammation and, in severe cases, temporary blindness. Most cattle producers will be familiar with pinkeye, but may not be aware of how best to treat it and minimise its spread within a herd. Pinkeye is a painful, debilitating condition that can severely affect animal productivity. Pinkeye can affect up to 80 per cent of a mob, with affected weaner calves losing 10 per cent of their body weight. When both eyes are affected, cattle may die from starvation, thirst and accidents. Occasionally, damage to the eye can be severe enough for blindness to be permanent. It is poor management and unacceptable, from a welfare standpoint, to allow severe cases to progress to this stage without treatment. The infection can spread very rapidly and the economic impact due to weight loss and lowered milk production can be considerable.
