Istykkerloxi

Været var så ille at åringene ble tatt inn ved lunsjtider, så Biloxi sto inne da jeg kom. Han humret som vanlig blidt på meg, mens jeg bråstoppet og stirret. Noe var veldig galt med det høyre øyet. Forsøkte å fotografere det, men det er jammen ikke lett. Uansett, selve øyet virket helt uskadd med pupill som reagerte normalt, og han hadde ikke veldig vondt. Men det var hovent, rant og det så nesten ut som om noen hadde fjernet en bit av våtkanten under øyet med en skalpell... Ikke at jeg trodde eller tror at noe slikt har skjedd, men det var så "pent og ryddig" gjort at det er vanskelig å forstå hvordan det skal ha skjedd. Eneste teorien jeg har er at grimekanten, ifm lek, kan ha kommet helt opp i øyet.

The weather was so bad that the yearlings were taken in at lunchtime, so Biloxi was in his box when I arrived. He nickered, and I did a double take. Something was very wrong with his right eye. I tried taking a picture, but it's not easy. The eye itself seems perfectly unharmed, with the pupil contracting like it normally would. And he didn't seem to be in pain. But it was swollen, with a discharge and it almost looked like a piece of the lower lid had been surgically removed. Not that I thought or think that anyone had attacked him with a scalpel, it's just hard to imagine what he (or the others) could have done to cause such a presise injury. The only theory I have is that it was caused by his headcollar during play.
