[Jacob-list] split eyelid

[Sue Roenke]

>From my La Leche League experience, if you put fresh milk 

(breast, sheep, goat, all works) in a creature's eye 
(human, animal), it will cure the pink eye real fast. Milk 
straight from the source is the only living antibiotic there is.

Last fall I had a bout with cloudy-eye that was really pinkeye. There is a puffer (bottle of yellow powder) you can get at TSC (livestock supplies) 
that will cure it.  It was right after the last fair and I think somebody brought it home.  Only 3 ewes got it and all recovered.  I also got some emu oil to use on eyelashes of llama that had some trauma to her eye - bee sting I think and it works too.  Emu oil is an amazing (emazing) curative-there is a pharma grade for people too as well as the vet grade.

I just noticed this morning that one of her eyes turned all cloudy and I think she's going blind.  She can still see out of it a little bit.  This eye was always a little worse than the other as it always leaked more.  Is there anything I should do for her eye?  Should I breed her or cull her?  I read in Ingrid Painter's book that you could breed ewes with split eyelids but you really shouldn't breed rams with it.  
   
  Thanks,

  One of my ewes had a ram lamb this morning! The first one this lambing season! :)
