A trip to the vet for little Teddy.

Although baby Teddy has been doing well we were a little concerned about one of Teddy's eyes. The day after Teddy was born Miss Olivia noticed that one of her eyes looked black and one looked blue. As time went on, the blue eye looked sore and seemed to stay closed and looked  a little red on the edges.  
I decided to take little Teddy, accompanied by mummy Robbie, to the vet for a check up. The vet placed some fluid in her eye and shone a very bright light into it. The conclusion was that she had probably sustained some trauma around the time of birth, most likely to have scratched it on a piece of hay. The eye showed signs of odema and that was making it look a blue colour. The vet prescribed some eye drops and was hopeful that it should heal and that any visual problem would be temporary. So now Teddy has drops four times a day into her eye with a lot of squealing and wheebing in protest! Robbie also got a post-natal check up and all is well.
The vet also had a sneaky look and decided that there was a very good chance that Teddy was likely to be............a girl!
