Another hay poke 😢

[Sparklepetal]

Hazelnut will be off to the vet in the morning. When my daughter and I went to put the girls back in the hutch after playpen time this evening, she found a bit of hay buried in the corner of Nutty's eye. It took a lot of attempts to get it out, not helped by Trudy rampaging up and down on our laps as she wanted to go Straight Home With a Pea Flake Thank You! Once I had shut her in the hutch I managed to hold Hazelnut's head still enough for my daughter to pull the hay out. It was a seed husk. Poor Nutty went very quiet once it was out and pillowed her head on my arm as if to say she knew we were trying to help. I was relieved to find the vet's hadn't closed and I could call and get an appointment. I hope she is not badly scratched and will allow me to administer drops. Having checked on the website it seems that I am allowed in both the waiting room and consulting room now, so that will make things easier for everyone!

Not a good day for Hazelnut's young master either as he got hit on the head in PE and 'went black and confused for a moment', so keeping a close eye on him too!

Poor Hazelnut.
Well done catching the haypoke so quickly and getting a vet appointment.
Hope eye drops help quickly.
Sorry about young master.
That sounds a nasty bump he had.
Hope he’s ok

Finger cross your little man is alright too, keep a keen eye on him

Hazelnut was very well behaved for the vet and has some drops for the small scratch on her eye. No ulceration thankfully. She will go back in a week to make sure all is well again.

It was nice to be back in with the vet after so long with carpark waiting!

So glad she has escaped with just a scratch. Get well soon Hazelnut. I hope Hazelnuts young master is ok today too x
