[Jacob-list] split eyelid

[schmick54 at aol.com]

You should probably cull her. Her eyelashes are rubbing on the cornea and that is causing the cloudiness. It really can't be fixed. This one sounds like a bad one. If it were only a notch, I wouldn't be too concerned. In this case, it seems pretty serious.

???? I have a yearling four horn ewe with split eyelids.? 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! :)
