Subject: RE: How long is pink eye contagious/viable


Eastern NE KS
Any vaccination and treatment history? If yes, please detail specifically, what, when and how.

The baby calves should have a short period of immunity from colostrum but 2 months old and I've seen pinkeye in the slow do-ers at surprisingly young age.

There are 2 bacteria species ( M. Bovis and M. Boviculli) and multiple strains in each that cause pinkeye. The second was once named as the cause of winter pinkeye. Cold weather does not stop it and I'd think southern Kansas could harbor both due to temperate conditions.

You asked more questions that I unfortunately answered with more questions. Sorry
