She’s a trooper .... still wheeking for her veggies with an eye that looked like she’s been in a boxing match 😎

So... , I though she might as well have her veggies why I ring the vet .

Anyway, we’ve been to the vet and needless to say my bank balance is £66 lighter 😀
 
Poor Sparkle, none of my piggies ever had a haypoke yet (waiting for one of them to stab themselves in they eye as I type this because I just opened a new box of timothy hay for them) but I had a haypoke injury myself once from a dusty spiky bag of timothy hay and it hurt a lot! Cheaper for hoomans but the diagnosis and treatment is basically the same :) Healing wheeks! X

Oh yes , I remember your hay poke ☹️

My current batch of hay is the softest I’ve ever had so it was simply bad luck in Sparkle’s case 👎☹️
 
Oh bless - that’s a wonderfully Halloweeny themed eye, poor girl. Hope it heals quickly (you’ve certainly caught it quickly).
 
Oh gosh, poor little girl :( Get well soon Miss Sparkle even with your green eye you are still one of my favourite stunners on the forum. You soooo pretty :love:

Get well soon Sparkle!

Yes, the hay doesn't necessarily have to be sharp. Stanley had his eye scratched with a tiny shard of hay in February, but it was a soft bit of hay that got stuck in and ulcerated Primrose's eye at the end of August. The offending article:

We are crossing fingers and paws for a hay poke-free 2020 here...but I'm not holding my breath!

Poor girl , her eye is looking a bit better today .... but I can clearly see the damage . It must be soooooo. Sore ☹️
She’s on eye drops 3 times a day and I’m giving her Metacam morning and evening .
 
Oh bless her, that really does like a sore one. :(. Let’s hope she soon feels better. Is she good about having her eye drops?

AMAZING ! She’s on 2 sets with a 1/2 hour gap in between.

I don’t even need to get her out of her carrier to give them. ... I just wash my hands and plop the drop in .
 
Oh gosh it does look sore. I remember Lily's looked horrendous but despite the look of it the damage was superficial and within a few weeks she was back to normal so fingers crossed for Sparkle
