Thump's eye

Campobello, SC(Zone 7a)

is worse than last time. He has a serious cut on it and when vet called to say she was out in barn and I went out to meet her, she said she walked in and caught him red handed rubbing against stall with it. Stall wall covered with blood smears. Have to put ointment in it every 2-3 hours including overnight. He's back on the banamine but the liquid version now, 1000lb dose, twice a day for at least a week. And I have to get monastat (yeah, the yeast infection stuff) and put that in 4x's a day. She's stopping by tomorrow to look and if doesn't see any improvement over today, she's adding more medication and said she will be seeing me a lot over the next few days in order to keep him out of the hospital where they would have to put a tube under his eyelid that runs down his neck to basically continually run meds into his eye.
I need to get him an eye cup. Basically, I may need to keep him in a mask, fly or racing, with an eye cup 24/7.

I swear, I didn't ask "what next?" again....
