Well lets try this again. I have a foal born last night with an ulcer on his eye. He seems blind completely in that eye. I am at work, and my husband is at home. The vet came out first thing this morning, and looked at his eye, and gave my husband some eye ointment to put in the eye.
He doesnt seem to concerned, according to the husband. I have never had a foal born in over 18 years breeding minis, that was born with an ulcer. I have had foals develop ulcers , inverted eyelashes, etc. , but never one born with them.
He holds his head kinda cocked sideways. Very healthy colt, and almost 3.5 weeks overdue. I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem, and what your outcome was.
I have a call into the vet, so when he gets back to the office I am sure he will give me a call.
I dont know what ointment was given, but just one type, I asked the hubby and he said only one tube, not two , as most of the time I get one for antibiotic, and the other to keep it dilated.
If anyone has any word s of wisdom, I would love to hear them.
This boy is georgeous, black and white loud tovero colt. Dam is an pinto/appaloosa, and sire is a frame son of Thunder Hawk. I have high hopes for him.
