[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 610454, member: 5478"] I am with cfpinz, If I saw her in my pasture I would have put her down. But I do understand so close to calving it would be nice to at least save the calf. I have been through this, here is what I know for sure; 1. The other eye WILL get worse 2. When it does, she will be impossible to do ANYTHING with 3. As it gets worse, she will get MEAN 4. He will have to put her down (no matter what else happens from here) 5. He will wish he hadn't let her suffer so long to save a few bucks. (I mean no offense here, just my own experience) Seven months along? I would confine her while you still can, get the calf out. If the sale barn won't take her, end her suffering. Yes, there will be a bottle baby, and it sucks, but it is part of raising cows sometimes. Just an opinion from someone who has been through it, and made the wrong decisions. [/QUOTE]
