[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 119317"] OK - first off - unless it is snake bite - not to worry. If it is snake bite - someone else will have to help - we do not have that problem up here - far too cold for them type of snakes. It is rare that a swollen eye is fatal - suspect your last animal died of something quite different. Swollen eyes come from many different things. She may: 1. Have been bunted hard by another cow. 2. Stung by a bee. 3. Banged her head into a branch. 4. Run something up into her eye - signs here - watering in a heavy way, rubbibg hard, eye closed and so on. 5. Irritated it with some grass. 6. And so on. The possibilities are almost endless. I have only touched the tip of the iceberg. Wait it out - if it is # 1,2,3,5 you will see it go down in time. If it is # 4 you may have to help her out. Forget cancer eye - does not sound like it at this stage. I would not suspect pink eye - no serious watering and I presume eye is open. So relax and perhaps Mother Nature will take her course. Watch it and if it gets worse over the next few days - possibly time to do something - hope you have decent catch facilities - they do not like you playing with their eyes. ez' [/QUOTE]
