1 day after birth
At the birth, she looked same as other baby goats. However, within a day, we noticed that one of her eyes was having a problem opening and very puffed up. Lots of tears coming out, as well.

2 days after birth
Her eyes started looking a little red but we still thought some dust or something went into her eyes and it would clear up.

4 days after birth
It became obvious that she is having a trouble that we need to help. This was our first time seeing this problem so we had to ask our vet what was going on.
It looked like she was having a hard time seeing with this side. This is caused by her eyelashes curled in and rubbing her eyeball. If we leave it like this, her eye "could" get injured and become blind. Fortunately, it is very easy to fix. It's a fluke condition. |

Finished putting the surgical glue
We wiped any gunks that stuck around her eye everyday, if needed twice a day.
If the glue comes off, you will need to redo the procedure.
