A few years ago WIllow sudddenly went blind, but it was temporary. What happened was really odd. We had a trumpet mailed to us from Texas. I pulled the trumpet out of the box, but left the packaging material in the open box on the floor. 20 minutes later, Willow was acting very oddly, walking funny, bumping into things, and stopping a lot to rub here eyes. I looked at her eyes and the whites were completely bloodshot. I called the mobile vet who just happened to be at a call to the house across the street from me. He said something must have been sprayed in her eyes, but she was just fine not 30 minutes earlier, and I was the only one home. He flushed her eyes, gave me some drops and told me to keep her in a quiet, dark room. The room where I had opened the trumpet box was quiet and dark. We went in there and immediately noticed a stench that I could not identify. There were packing peanuts all over the floor because WIllow had been rooting around in the box; and in the box was a Stink Bug that had hitched a ride from Texas! It took about 5 days for Willow to return to normal.
