Pink Eye in cattle can be a devastating health issue to manage! We welcome back our guest, Dr. Meredyth Jones Cook, Professor of Practice in Livestock Production at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Texas Tech University.
Dr. Cook was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kentucky. After spending many years in her dad’s mixed animal veterinary practice, she decided to attend veterinary school at Oklahoma State and focus on food animal medicine. After some time in private practice, she completed a residency to specialize in large animal internal medicine. She taught at Kansas State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State before joining the team at Texas Tech. She provides continuing education and consulting to large animal veterinarians, and she and her husband ranch together in Oklahoma along with their two daughters.
Dr. Shynia Peterman and Dr. Cook talked through the identification of pinkeye, as well as preventative measures and treatment options. These two professionals bring you a great discussion in an easy-to-understand conversation!
Additionally, we want to thank our listeners for some great questions. Here is some excellent advice from a fellow producer:
“We introduced more shade for our cattle, which helps reduce flies and has also contributed to a decrease in Pink Eye cases. We also have the cows congregating around manmade shelters, making it easier to spray for pests. Seems to be helping, and the cows are certainly more comfortable.”
Cattlemen & Veterinarians is a great partnership podcast that provides excellent feedback to both sides of the business. Make sure to download all the episodes!
