Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), more commonly known as pinkeye, is one of the most common diseases of cattle, especially during the summer months. It is a highly contagious disease that causes inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva of the eye.  It can lead to ulceration of the cornea, giving the classic appearance of the white depression or ulcer that many cattle producers describe. Pinkeye results in mild to severe disease, and can cause blindness in an affected eye.

I like to take my puppy, Frankie, for walks when she is staying at my house in town. She spends most of her days at my boyfriend's farm where she gets to do fun things like irritate the cows, play in the creek and ride in the tractor for hours on end – this time of year, especially.
