Oh, Horses...

Boomer's eye had been weeping for about a week when I started rinsing it and talking to the vet.  I rinsed it every day and wiped under it so that I could tell when it had been weeping.  After I started rinsing it, it started weeping less, not entirely, but much less.  Yesterday was my 'last day'.  I had decided that if it still wasn't better, I would call the vet.  In the morning, it was a little weepy, in the afternoon it wasn't bad.  So, I called this morning and made an appointment only to find that it was completely dry this afternoon.  24 hours without weeping.  So, I called to cancel.  Of course, I know that it will just start weeping again tomorrow.  Oh, horses.  

Off to get that plug put in the truck bed.  

Monday and Tuesday will be spent in Lawrence getting the apartment set up, getting a storage unit, and a PO Box.  

Two weeks from today, we will be living in a new state!

Yeah - they can be a little like cars... take it into the mechanic and the trouble stops! Well I hope everything stays dry from here on out!

So far we are on about 48 hours of no weeping! My luck will be that it will start up again as soon as we move or something inconvenient like that! Though, my vet here (who is great) graduated from KState and gave me a referral to a horse vet there that he went to school with! So, no worries on being without a vet!

Our little Arabian Sammi had a weeping eye for a while. After the vet looked at it we found out he was getting hay dust in it, so the situation was fixed and he's fine now.

I wonder if that was the issue with Boomer. He had been finishing the last of a round bale that we kept in his shed, and after we cleaned out the waste from it we started feeding him from square bales because we are moving in two weeks and wanted to be able to travel with his hay. That switch happened about a week ago. I wonder if he was weeping from the last week of round bale. It is usually pretty dusty and stemmy at the end, we usually end up with about 25% waste.
