[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1607629, member: 1682"] Depends on how long he has had it. Could be just a benign tumour, or the start of something worse. If it started to spread, get inflamed, or having discharge, then I would send him packing. When it comes to cancer, I don't spend money trying to prolong their life, as it is a cost which has to be recouped and automatically puts you behind the 8 ball for profit on that animal. I got sentimental last year and kept a cow for one extra month too long so she could raise her calf and it got into her lymph nodes so she ended up getting a bullet. Normally I send them packing as soon as I see a growth, but hers didn't start until a few weeks before she calved, so in 5 months it went from weepy eyelid to full-blown swollen lymph nodes. [/QUOTE]
