Chestnut seems to have an some kind of infektion on his eye . Really foggy blue . Is This a hay poke?
He seems to enjoy food still. And still active.
Should I see the vet ?
Any advice for me .
This is my first time to see them ill .

Yes please do see a vet ASAP as eyes can deteriorate fast if left untreated.

It could be a hay poke injury which he will need eye drops for and painkillers but only a vet can diagnose and treat

I agree, this needs urgent veterinary attention.

Oh dear.
Yes - a vet trip is important.
It doesn’t matter if it’s not an exotic specialist for eye issues.
Hope it’s nothing serious and can be quickly healed.
Keep us posted

All the best and hope it can be sorted soon.

thank you, we have a vet at a walking distance . Its open tomorrow.

If you are in the Uk, then if at all possible it would be best if you could get him seen by an out of hours vet today rather than wait until tomorrow. Sometimes a piece of hay can still still be stuck under the eyelid and causes further damage while it remains in there. The quicker treatment is started with eyes the better, any issue with an eye is classed as urgent and they ideally see a vet within 24 hours of the injury occurring

I agree he really needs to see a vet today, as others have said eye issues can deteriorate so fast! Sending healing vibes, please let us know how you get on x
