Round Up and Prompt 112: St. Mungo's Hospital

Hello lovelies!

This has just not been the week I was planning on having. I went out to the pony pasture on Monday morning and was met with a partially blind pony. A pony, who just the night before, had two fully functioning and normal looking eyeballs.

It has been a stressful, tearful week for me, but my one blessing is that my pony hasn't been

O.o

What happened to the pony's eye?!

Also, my BFF Jillian is a Crazy Horse Lady, and when her horses have eye issues, she swears by using Bausch & Lomb eye wash between putting the meds in. Her vet was so impressed by how well one of her horses was responding to treatment that he asked what she was doing, and they now prescribe Bausch & Lomb to other horse owners. Just putting it out there for you. Good luck!

Both the vet and I are pretty stumped honestly. The vet put some liquid in her eye to show if there had been any trauma to the eye, but it came back negative. It hasn't reacted to the meds either (which I probably said already ha), so our next best strategy is to remove the eye itself before it inevitably ruptures (from pressure swelling).

I will definitely look into that eye wash!! Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️

Aw, I hope your girl is feeling better now? Did they remove her eye?
How are you doing?

Surgery is scheduled for this Friday, so the eye is still in. In an unexpected turn of events, her eye may be getting better
