Just been up to chat to everyone and noticed Brambles eye is slightly discoloured and has a small blue mark on the cornea. It's not watery or sore looking..could it still be hay poke or could this possibly be a result of her EC? This is the only eye she has sight in so I want to do all I can to keep that sight.
Obviously she will be going to the vet first thing as I'm concerned either way, but going in knowing what I'm more likely to be dealing with will be really useful!
Thanks!

It looked a little better this morning, got some drops to give her for a few days to see how she goes. Hopefully they do the trick!

Poor Bramble, I hope that heals up quick. That gorgeous girl has enough to contend with. Sending her hugs and healing vibes.
 
She says Thank you for the hugs and vibes! :D

Luckily it's not bothering her at all, and it does seem to be a poke rather than anything particularly sinister which is good news.
 
Hows she got on? Would suspect a poke looking at it

Thanks! Yeah when she had her eye stain they said it was most likely a poke as there was surface damage so I think it is most likely the culprit, thankfully. It's already much better, although she doesn't like the drops bless her and sits for a few minutes with the eye shut, so she gets treats and cuddles while she can't see...I'm sure by now she's milking it a little bit though XD

This was it last night, a lot less blue and cloudy.
