[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12248"] I have dealt with this EXACT situation, I took in a cow that had cancer eye and was pregnant. (o.k. guys, so we are in the cattle business but yes I am a women and I do try and rescue cows when I can!) Dun is right, it can be a negative situation, I don't think she would live until she calved . I took the cow that I had to the state vet school and we kept her there trying to get her to the point of when we could deliver the calf by C-section and then put the cow down. I ended up loosing both, the calf was born alive but was premature and dispite their best efforts she died. Anyway, this is what I would do, bring her to someone that can do surgery on the eye!!! A State vet school etc. Like I said it is not expensive and she might do well and at least you can get her to when you can deliver the baby. I would not ship her off or put her down now when surgery is a viable option. Please consider this, I have been through this..... kat kat > Two choices, neither of which is > very good.
