If it is pink eye the BEST thing for that is a trick I learned on this list - washing morning and night with a solution of warm water and Johnson's baby shampoo . You should really wash their whole face and really scrub their eyes then put the terrimyacin (sp) oinment in them. I had a bad outbreak once (from cats next door - sheep can get pink eye from cat urine!) and this is the only way I could cure my herd - it took almost 10 days to finally completely clear it up (after I finally learned about the shampoo), but the Johnson's shampoo really did the trick. Be sure to use baby shampoo that doesn't burn their eyes! Since it is contagious, you may want to wash all their eyes/faces/ears - be sure to use a DIFFERENT rag on each one and don't put used rags back in the soap solution.
