'''Sub-conjunctival injections of appropriate antibiotics such as procaine penicillin''' are most effective, but treatment can also be given '''systemically, e.g. oxytetracycline, tulathromycin, tilmicosin and florfenicol'''.

Withdrawal periods must be adhered to, so selecting a drug licensed for the preferred method of administration is advised.
