It first commences with an inflammation in the eye, after this there will be a growth noticed to be coming out of the ball of the eye, which gradually keeps on growing until it hangs out over on the cheek, it looks red and angry, and the least little injury will cause it to bleed freely, and gives the animal ^n unsightly appearance. In some cases the bones around the eye become diseased, and then it smells very bad. This disease is more often met with in the cow than in the horse. Causes.âThe causes of this are like all other cancerous growthsâfrom cancer germs getting into the blood and settling in the eye. , Treatment. -You may effect a cure in the first stages of the disease by removing the eye, growth and all. Cast the animal and secure him, and have his head held solid, cut around the eye between the eye and the eyelid, and lift the eye up by sticking a hook into it, then cut the structures off at the back part of the eye and have a hot iron to sear it, to stop the bleeding, then allow the animal to get up, and dress it the same as you would an ordinary wound by bathing it with warm water and applying white lotion three times a day. After applying the lotion, if the cut looks angry, apply compound tincture of benzoin, or what is called Frier's balsam, with a feather to keep it from growing again. FILARIA OCULI. This is
