how s/he became blind: Born healthy and alive Tiger was a young colt at a neighboring farm. He was bought and brought to Snowy Elk Stables when he was just little under a year old. He was full of life and loved to just cause trouble and terror in the world. So when the colt starting getting sick everyone began to panic. It all started with change in his behavior. His once full of life spirit was now depressing to even look at. He seemed to have no energy and took little notice in the things he loved. Worried he was tested and found that he had come down with equine influenza. At first it was unknown on how the foal got such a virus. Usually this virus can only be spread through other horses and there hadn't been an epidemic outbreak on the farm. But then it was discovered that the barn he was born had had an outbreak and sold the colt without informing anyone of the case. The virus had gotten extremely serious before anyone had time to take notice. He was quickly isolated to prevent exposure to the other horses.The symptoms Tiger had were constant coughing with high fever followed by nasal discharge. Everything to get worse before it got even slightly better. The colt stopped eating and lost a lot of weight. Discharge started coming from his eyes. He was treated daily but his immune system seemed to reject the treatment. Almost all hope was lost as the colt slowly weakened. After the 5th day arrangements was made for euthanasia. But then the foal started showing signs of recovery. He began to eat and show more life in his step. By the end of the second week the foal was almost completely healthy again. When looking over him Tiger looked fine till you got to his eyes. Tiger's eyes hadn't fully clouded over but was slowly doing so. The Equine flu had triggered a case of Moon Blindness in the colt. Sadly this was a common case found in horses. Tiger did not go blind right away. The Moon Blindness would usually flare up and then go away for a few weeks before recurring again. Finally the last attack seemed to be the worse. Tiger eventually went blind.
