Well we went to the vets this morning for Cropi to have the tumour removed from her 3rd eyelid.
They heavily sedated her and nerve blocked rather than GA. They let me stay with her while she had it done and she just rested her head in my arms while they operated.
It seemed to go well. The vet had to totally remove the 3rd eyelid as the tumour was quite aggresive but fingers crossed its all out now. It will be sent away to be analysed and hopefully they will be able to tell us that it has not spread anywhere else.
I was able to bring her home with me and she does look very very sorry for herself, its like she is crying tears of blood but at least its flushing out. She has got antibiotic drops to go in her eye which I am not too thrilled about as I reckon theres more chance of rocking horse poo than me being able to get them in, so she has got oral ones too. We can't ride for a week and the vet will come back out in 2 weeks with the results and to check on her.
I've just nipped home for an hour before I go back down and see her again.
Fingers crossed its all sorted now and she will have a speedy and full recovery
