TPC, how do the folks in Texas know there's something wrong with Beatrix's eyesight?
There wasn't a mark on her when she came in, so they figured, in part because of when she was found and where she was found, that she had gotten caught in the big hail storm that buzzed through the area on the 17th (

That was when they made the decision to get her in to see an ophthalmic specialist. Since then however, she much more alert and tracking so they think if she did have any problems with her vision (remember, she hasn't seen the vet yet) that she has improved. They want to try her in a flight cage to see if she'll fly which she may not do if she's having vision problems. It is however just their concern, it has yet to be confirmed by the vet. She pretty symmetrical in her responses to things from what little I've seen in photos and the video so if there was any cause for concern, she may be recovering from it. But it is all just supposition until she's seen by the vet.
