[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 239231, member: 4203"] Might not be cancer eye - young animal and it looks to me like there might have been a foriegn object in that conjunctiva. If he is a pet, I would take him to the vet. If there is a sticker or seed head or something in ther he can get it out, or if it really is cancer eye the eye can be removed and the calf will probably be fine. My grandfater put salt in their eyes. Sometimes the old remedies have a solid basis, not sure about this one, I sure don't do it, but there is a principle of applying a counter-irritant to an ailment that sometime does work - maybe that was why they did that - and really if you think about it, saline solution (for contacts, cleaning your eyes etc) is salt water, and if it is in concentration it sure can kill/prevent bacteria....so maybe there is something to it...but yeah ooowwwwwiiee Might want to try a little grain or some calf manna or something like that too.
