Shepherd’s Choice® Management Tip
Watery eyes in baby lambs are generally inverted eyelids and not pink eye. The hair of the eyelid is rubbing against and irritating the outside surface of the eye, making it water. The eyelids need to be corrected. I like to use metal wound clips. The clips are pinched together horizontally, not vertically as one would think. It is generally the bottom lid that is involved. I've seen lambs with watery eyes, depressed, head down, and standing around; fix the eyelid and they have been jumping and playing around several hours later. Failure to fix the eye can result in permanent damage and blindness.
