Vibes for Helen Please/ Not great news :-(

Helen's at the vet's this morning at 11:30 am we don't know what she has done but her left eye is awful it's very very bloodshot and her eyelid is slightly
swollen Mike bathed it last night and gave her some Metacam he didn't take her to the emergency vet's as the roads were like ice and he didn't want to
chance it or take Helen and Baby Saint out in the cold so late at night.
We think she may have bumped it or got something sharp like a piece of branch that could have been in the hay in it.
It look's so bad

Aw, major vibes for Helen xx (and some for Baby Saint too since she's so special)

Mike's just set off with them both now as the vet's is in Sunderland. Although Helen appears to be alert and eating we don't think she can see out of that eye as she has been stood in one place all the time and is a bit jumpy when you approach which isn't Helen.
Poor Baby Saint has had to go to as Helen would play up without her but that means that when she comes back she will be all disorientated and worked up.

I will let you know what it is as soon as I know.

aww sending mega vibes
I hope all is ok she may have an infection and needs antibiotics xx

Mikes just rang me they are keeping her in they are going to give her a light sedation and have a good look at her eye and in her mouth. They think it's
inflammation of the iris and if it is with us catching it so early they can treat it with eye drops but if it is bad she could lose her eye
Please no! she has suffered enough in her short life.

Now I am worrying about Helen with a light sedation and Baby Saint who will wonder where she is and be going round in circles as she will be all worked up
and at times without her Mummy

Oh no, poor little babies.

Prayers that it can be treated and she keeps her eye xx

OH NO!
i'm sending all the vibes at the strongest possible to both of them

it sounds like it is caught early hun at least that is a light at the end of this very awful tunnel.
try to not worry too much hun you will be ill and Helen and baby saint need their humum when they come home

Oh no, iritis in humans is very painful but it can respond quickly to drugs. Sending loads of vibes for Helen and Baby Saint. It is very unfair that this has happened to Helen

I hope they are back home with you soon

Oh gosh - poor Helen. She doesn't need this

Sending lots of vibes to the beautiful girl and hugs to you too

I think the main thing is that Baby Saint has her mummy. They'll be back with you soon enough, poor little mites xxx

Still not heard nothing we have never been parted from them this long and we always worry more about them being the way they both are. Helen doesn't trust anyone and will bite and if she is parted from Baby Saint she get's so worked up and annoyed, I just want them home and it's so cold out and trying to snow again

i'm sure mike will ring soon hun our thoughts are there too

Sending you a shed load of hugs Maysie

Mike has just gone to collect the girls I haven't a clue what is wrong with Helen's eye as the vet said she would explain when he got there
now I'm even more worried

Only just seen this. I hope Helen is ok

At least they're coming home Maysie.

Sending positive vibes

If they are coming home I would guess there's nothing desperate to worry about - at least they are not stuck at the vets if we really do get a foot of snow tonight.

Lots and lots of vibes for Helen

Are they home yet Maysie? Such a worry - I hope the weather is ok.

I think that if they are sending them home it must be positive Hun xxxx

any news?
are they all ok hun x

Well they are on their way home but it's not great news

Her eye is very very bad and she has ulceration to her iris the vet said the cause of this can be Pasteurella or E.cuniculi and she has a bag of medicines/eye drop's Mike said to take and put in her eye, she has also got to go on Panacur for a month so we shall Panacur them both. There is a chance she may lose her eye but the vet want's to see the infammation go down first and see how's she goes on her medication.

I just don't want Helen to suffer much as she has suffered enough and she has enough to cope with, with her twisted spine and hernia and yet she still is an amazing Mummy to Baby Saint and look's after her in a way we could never. I feel so sad that this has happened to her

Aww poor Helen that sounds horrible. I am glad it isn't anything more serious.

With the excellent care she gets from you and Mike, I am hopeful that she will recover. xx

Glad to have you back Maysie

Im so sorry to hear about Mummy Helen I really hope that she doesnt suffer too much and that her eye can be saved. xxxxxxx

Oh no Maysie

I hope they are home now and back in their cozy bed at The Warren.

Fingers crossed that the meds will help her.

Not home yet it's snowing and Mike said the roads are bad I will be glad to have them home, Helen is due back tomorrow at the vet's but
Mike has said we shall have to see what the weather is like we are due a lot of snow tonight and a few people have cancelled for boarding
I don't blame them at all.

You will have to let us know when they are back.

Yeah, we have been forecast snow too. I think it's supposed to hit a lot of the UK in the next day or so

Roll on spring!!!
