Update!

Angeline, prettiest girl I've ever seen!

Angeline's eye is looking better cosmetically, although I believe she has lost sight in it. The eye got worse before it got better but I kept putting the dilator and triple antibiotic ointments in daily for over 2 weeks. Slowly but surely the eye appeared to be getting better. However, when I ran my hand across her damaged eye she didn't blink. I'm afraid she is blind but on a positive note, the eye did not have to be removed. As you can see in the picture, the damaged left eye does not open as wide as the one on the right but, I think she'll be okay as she is now running and playing and shows no difficulty navigating or interacting with the herd.

My Buddy Romeo

Romeo's poop problem was fixed in just about 3 days. I think he got into a bad weed or something. On top of the diarrhea, he was vomiting after eating grain which had me concerned so I kept him off the sweet feed for 10 days. The other boys weren't happy because I left them off the feed as well. They kept wondering why the "girls" were getting it but not them! Ten days later they got their daily ration and I have to say things are back to normal. The only thing I can think of was that while the vet was here to look at Angeline's eye, I had him draw blood for ARI registration. I went to the house to get the ARI blood cards and before I could tell the vet to draw the blood from the tail, he had already taken a sample from the neck. I think Romeo may have had his esophagus damaged. He's fine now but next time it'll be from the tail.
