Hi all. I have had a difficult morning. Just asking for your thoughts and prayers right now. Went out to feed the horses/goats this morning...found my sweet little 4 mo buckskin filly w/a very nasty eye infection. The bottom of her eye lid was filled w/puss and there was a flim over some of her eye, her bottom lid was pulled down slightly showing the pink and top lid was swollen. What a mess. I called the vet right away, I had hopes it wasnt anything major as I tend to be a little over anxious and concerned w/my animals in the past. However this time the vet was very concerned and although he couldnt make it out to my place to take a look at her, he's sending his partner in a hour or so. He said it could be that she punctured her cornia which would be bad news for her sight...or on the upside it could be that there's some dirt or something in there. I'm just praying that's all this is.
I tell ya, this little girl has been through hell and back a couple times already in her very short lifetime. I've posted about her before on here...she was born w/low immunity levels, had to be isolated for the first 6 wks of birth...it was a bumpy road...she's been very ill a couple times, she finally was at a place where she was putting on good weight and growing like a little weed these days. And now this. Ugh! I've been a worried sick mess since the day she was born...and of course she's the sweetest most loveable baby in the world, so cooperative, tame and sweet tempered (just like her mom.) So just wanted to vent mostly for my sake...cross your fingers for us, I'll post an update once we find out what's going on!
