Hay poke

[Chaz]

I think Luna has hay poke...again.
Is there a chance it will get better on its own? If not I'll go to the vets tomorrow evening.
It's up the top and you have to zoom in.
It's a little red bump.

Don't wait around with eyes. It's always a good idea to visit the vet if you suspect haypoke. Meg has a very deep ulcer from haypoke 2 and a half weeks ago which I am still treating with 3 different types of eye drops 8 times a day!

Can you see what I'm talking about though? I'm going to the vets tomorrow.

 

[Siikibam]

Yes, but only hands on exam will do. Hope it’s a very mild case.

 

[Merab]

Defined a vet trip but hopefully you’ve caught it quickly.

I got her in tomorrow as they were fully booked today. She's blinking loads, but nothing else. No discharge or discolouration, just that bump at the top.

 

[Siikibam]

Let us know how it goes

 

[VickiA]

Please let us know how you get on tomorrow.

 

[Merab]

Hope all goes well tomorrow

Hi everyone - I'm not seeing any signs of hay poke here. I want to learn so I can check this properly for my girls. Where is the poke spot at?

 

[Merab]

It’s not easy to see a haypoke without a proper vet check.
They use a dye to highlight the poke and any ulceration.
The signs we spot tend to be watering eyes and an eye that’s partly closed - at least that’s how I spot the possibility of a haypoke.

Sometimes the eye has a bluey film over the top of it too.

It's up the top in the picture. I'm not sure what it is, but there is a red spot you can see in the picture. Before she had cloudiness and discharge. This time she has this spot and is blinking a lot.

 

[Siikibam]

You’ll have to wait for a vet to check. We really can’t take a guess, and we’re certainly not qualified to either.

 

[Chaz]

Hi. It wasn't hay poke. It's an inflammatory condition. I have eye drops.
She's not going to like me.

 

[VickiA]

Well done for getting it seen by the vet. Good luck with the eye drops. Has the vet demonstrated the best technique for putting them in?

 

[Merab]

Glad you were able to see the vet.
Good luck with the eye drops.
I find a bribe helps

No, I had to sit in the car park while he looked at her. I have done it before though.
