Pissed off

[Pedantic]

Had a great ride today, his lordship is going so well for me at the moment, put him in the field at about 1.45pm, he was absolutaley fine, I felt really good, just been to feed him and his right eye is all swollen practically closed up, looks mostly likely like the flies/midges have bitten him, this is in spite of fly cream all around his eyes and face, allready pissed off before I went as youngest son has come round for tea in spite of knowingly being exposed to swine flu, we are supposed to go away next week on holiday, I also dont get paid if off work, now I have his lordships eye to worry about as well as catching flu, I am allready paranoid about him getting injured as last year he got kicked on his tendon a week before taking him on holiday, fortunately it didn't make him lame and was able to ride him, but it took weeks to heal, he still has the scar, not bloody happy

Poo!!!

I hope his eye is just flies. If it helps I'm pissed off to as it has rained pretty much all day here so have got bugger all done.......

Just read JustJaney post on Herbies dreadful accident, it puts things in perspective, feel rather numb

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Shocking isn't it? and something we all do without thinking all the time.

That sort of thing always used to happen to me when I was getting ready for our Annual mammouth riding holiday

One year he got stung on his **cough cough** Sheath and it was huge

... the Vet asked if he could get his 'todger' out and when I said yes, he said not to worry and showed me how to massage it

Enjoy your holiday, I am sure he will come right

EDT ... whoops not the best choice of words

 

[Chestnuttymare]

did you bathe his eye with cold tea?
Hope you don't have swine flu and get your holiday.

ChestnuttyMare, thanks for cold tea tip, I will take some in the morning when I give him his breakfast

Check his eye carefully. My mare looked like that and had poked herself in the eye in the hedge with a stick and got an ulcer on her eye. It probably isn't but you can't be too careful.

Wont hesitate to call vet if things dont improve quick

[abracadabra]

my old boy was hedge crunching and scratched his cornea, it sweeled completely shut and couldnt open it so hope its flies and not that


had bute and box rest and he was soon ok, didnt ulcerate though so lucky

he was such a good patient too, stood there with me shining a torch in his eye to see the scratch on the lense

 

[welshied]

My horse has had a swollen eyes twice and that was him catching it on som,ething he got antibiotic cream and had to have it put in twice a day

 

[Pedantic]

Less pissed off now as his eye is practically ok this morning

, still gave a small bathe with cold tea, put fly cream everywhere to try and keep the biteing sods away
