Bluegrass Veterinary Vision

KATE UPDATE: Over the weekend, Dr. Erica Tolar, an equine ophthalmologist, came to Willow Hope Farm to assess Kate's vision. She let us know that Kate is blind in both eyes. 💔 Her right eye is worse due to long-standing inflammation, while her left (considered her "better eye") is affected by a cataract and a partially dislocated lens, leaving her vision virtually nonexistent in that eye as well.

We are trying a medication in the left eye, hoping to see some improvement, but the prognosis for the return of vision is very low. Dr. Tolar will return in June for a recheck and to advise whether any additional treatments should be considered.

The more we think about Kate surviving alone on that mountaintop in the condition she was in, it's nothing short of incredible. She didn't just endure. She fought to survive. If anyone can Make It, it's Kate! And we're going to be here for her every step of the way.
