I use Terramycin ointment, anytime I see eye discharge. Pinkeye is very contagious, so I would put some in every eye. If its not pinkeye, it will not hurt the eyes at all.
Eye discharge... goats are hard
You've all been so helpful, and I have another question. This morning 3 of my 5 goats (3-4 months of age, Myotonic breed) had some eye discharge. Should I just watch for now, or is there something I should do? It was hard to get a pic but you can kinda see it in the floppy eared guy here.
One of the 3 affected has recently been on antibiotics (after an operation) and it seems if it was bacterial he would have been somewhat protected being on meds? Also their shots/deworming is up to date.

They are shut up in a barn overnight and we use the deep litter method with straw. They get a bit of grass hay in the barn but otherwise are just on pasture per the vet's recommendation (though I don't know if they are eating enough).
Any advice is appreciated!
