[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9010"] There are several reasons the calf could be blind. Do you see the iris and pupil clearly, or is there white obscuring it? If there seems to be white floating in front of the iris, it may be hypopyon, a sign of serious systemic infection. If the pupil is white only, that is cataracts, possibly genetic but not likely infection. If the eyes look normal, it could be Vitamin A deficiency....did the calf get a shot of AD? if not, this may help. Raising a blind calf can certainly be done, but figuring out why may prevent major problems in the future. Talk to your vet and see what they think!Good Luck<br>V<br> <br> <br><hr size=4 width=75%><p> [email=vcane@hurontario.net]vcane@hurontario.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
