[QUOTE="regolith, post: 649039, member: 9267"] They can move pretty quick... I think my vet was ready to give me a chewing out for having noticed a small growth last year and got the vet to look at her at the earliest convenient opportunity - three weeks later. I didn't know then that a few weeks could be enough to condemn her. Both cows he's looked at recently had the growth heading inwards from the corner of the eye, so they were invisible without actually peeling the eye open. The first - growth removed, eye got infected and required further treatment, cow is now doing well. The second - growth too far advanced, removed eye, cow is doing well (it's the weirdest thing watching a one-eyed cow lead the herd over the road crossing). It's an expensive business and they were two of my best cows. Surgery isn't 100% - there's still the chance of the cancer having spread too far or returning. This one is too far gone to just cut out the growth. The only chance of saving her a few months longer is (if the cancer hasn't spread beyond the tumour) to cut out the eye. [/QUOTE]
