13th February, 2010 Jack's Eye





When I got up to the fields today, Jack was standing with his eye half closed and streaming with tears. Nicky, the new vet at the Barn, turned up to investigate the problem and that pony stood like a rock while she shone lights into his eyes, firkled with his eyelids, put dye into his eye and then antiobiotics. I was so proud of him and relieved to be told that there is no sign of any damage to the cornea or any infection. He must have just banged it on something (ouch!).
