How observant are you?

[BBP2]

When the heck did this spot on his eye appear? Was it today? Last week? Last month? last year?!

Am I just super unobservant?! Would you have clocked this kind of change immediately?

Today


And the last good close up eye photo I can find from about 18months ago. Definitely no spot.

I’d like to think I was reasonably observant on important stuff, but that eye picture likely not notice unless the horse was giving me a specific cause to look.

I did have a WTF can’t you bite your carrot moment with my 3yo the other day which prompted me to look in her mouth (and then rapidly google to confirm it was normal!)

I wouldn't have noticed the eye thing with one of mine as she doesn't like anyone up close to her face.

Baby teeth

Bless. One of my Shetlands has just gone through this gummy phase. The other was quite ahead and lost his not long after turning 2.

Yeah he isn’t a huge fan of me gazing into his eyes. Now I’m going to have to go stare at the others and get photos just in case I need to compare them later! The Shetlands have lovely eyes so I already have photos of them. One has a proper blue flash in his, and the other has a really dark indigo flash. It’s subtle but really lovely.

I'm not particularly observant. Mind you. I will now stare at his eyes next time I'm at the stables.

It looks like a tiny iris cyst

Am still going through the baby teeth stage, but things seem to be finally settling down Like to think I'm pretty observant (OK call it obsessed) so would probably have noticed the eye spot.

I think it probably is. I’ve sent the pictures to the vet just to see what they think.

I’m impressed you ve got photos of eyes before to compare to be honest. Not overly observant I suspect …some days it’s just just head down and get done…others there’s more time and energy to be so.

Nope, not observant at all. Took an eye infection to show my lad had a melanoma under his eyelid.

It’s my superpower, it’s kept many vets happy over the years .

I thought I'd take an eye pic for future reference but have just got an eyelash pic

 

[little_critter]

If I tried to get an eye pic I'd just get nostrils / teeth because phones come out of pockets and anything from a pocket MUST be a treat.

It’s the sort if thing I’d suddenly notice but wonder if it’s always been there and I just hadn’t noticed before and wouldn’t be sure either way.
