So my Ziggy's habit of diving face-first into the hay has finally led to him getting hay poke. I noticed the piece of hay in his eye this evening, but I can't tell if it's in the eye or just underneath the lid. His eye looks red, and he's squinting. I'm tempted to pull out the hay before I take him to the vet, but I'm nervous because I don't know where the hay is stuck and I don't want to accidentally hurt him if I try. Should I just let the vet deal with the hay, or should I go ahead and try to pull it out? I've had my boys for almost two years, and this is the first time either of them has been injured like this.
