CLOSE CALL

[LAZY J MINIS]

WE HAD A CLOSE CALL TODAY. WE RECENTLY HAD A FOAL THAT WAS BORN BLIND IN ONE EYE,AND WAS THOUGHT TO BE A DUMMY FOAL. GOOD NEWS SHE IS DOING GREAT, BAD NEWS SHE TRIED TO PUT THE OTHER EYE OUT. WE WERE IN THE PEN WHEN SHE CAME RUNNING BY IN A PANIC, WE CAUGHT HER AND SAW SHE WAS BLEEDING FROM HER GOOD EYE. GOT HER AND MOM IN BARN AND CALLED THE VET. WHEN HE GOT HERE AND EXAMINED HER, CLEANING THE EYE AND PUTTING DROPS IN IT, GOOD NEWS

NO DAMAGE TO THE EYE, SHE HAD A SMALL TEAR IN THE CORNER OF THE EYE AND WHERE IT BLEEDS A LOT. THIS FILLY IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME YET.

BEST NEWS IS SHE IS OK.

Best wishes for your foal.....

I'm so glad that she did not damage the other eye - maybe her name should be Calamity Jane!

 

[AnnaC]

Goodness, you must have been in a bit of a panic!

Calamity Jane sounds good to me too LOL!

Hope she will make a full recovery, bless her

Glad to hear she is okay! I swear, you can put horses in a padded stall, covered in bubble-wrap, and they would still managed to tear, break, or injure something.

Oh, those things are so scary! I am glad that it turned out ok for your foal!

Do you have pictures of your filly?

Glad to hear she is doing fine now... Sounds like my daughter when she was a toddler..always hurting herself and yes she could be in a padded room covered in bubble wrap and still hurt herself..LOL
