Pink eye disease in goat

 Pink eye, also known as infectious keratoconjunctivitis, is a common condition in goats that can cause serious complications if left untreated ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. The symptoms of pink eye in goats include:

- Discharge or weeping from the eyes

- Redness of the cornea

- Swelling of the eyelids

- Sensitivity to light

- Cloudiness of the cornea

- Blood-spot in the eye

- Ulcer or pit on the cornea

The disease is caused by bacterial infections, primarily Mycoplasma and Chlamydia species, and can be exacerbated by environmental factors such as dust, wind, and ultraviolet light ¹ ² ³ ⁴.
