A Coincidence or What? This year I was asked to remove a growth from the upper eyelid of an Ayrshire cow.The growth.which was the size of a cricket ball,was removed and the surface cauterised and dressed with an ordinary wound lotion:but after a time the growth recurred.and also the lower lid became affected.The cow being very old and nearly due to calve.the owner did not have the growth removed a second time.but said that as soon as she had calved he would have her destroyed.A good heifer calf was born.but her comes the coincidence-the calf had only one eye.there is no doubt but that the growth was malignant.(The Vaterinary Journal.Vol.93.No.9 -September 1937.)
