Q:   What is caused by a cow that has a wart near the eye area causing pus to come out of the eye.

A:   The wart is probably interfering with the eye's natural defenses against infection. It may not be letting the lids close, or it may be rubbing and irritating the surface of the eye. In either case, surgical removal of the wart seems indicated.
