Should I be concerned?

My newest calf has something going on with his eyeball. When he cuts his eyes to the left, the right eyeball shows completely white like I'm looking at the back of his eyeball. Thanks for any information. I don't mind if I'm told I'm overreacting either.

Not a very good shot. Notice the white showing at the top of his eye. The second shot looks normal.

@Buck Randall have you seen a calf with an eyeball that shows completely white when they cut their eyes to the side? I really hope I'm overreacting. Thanks for any info.

It's hard to tell what's going on just from the picture, but it's probably not a big deal. Cattle can be cross-eyed just like people - it looks like her eye just pulls to the left. I saw a cow once that had it so bad in both eyes that she could only see directly in front of her. Other than that, it wasn't a problem.

She gets around fine. Just didn't want her eye detaching or something. Thank you!

I've had calves do that, I never thought much about it, it always corrected itself.

That's good to know. He's nursing fine, so I'm feeling better about it.
