Thank goodness it didn't get her actual eye. Hopefully it will heal fine for you. All you can do is shake your head. You think everything is goat proofed and they find something.

Ummm......that looked like a perfectly safe s-hook to me. Leave it to a critter to find a way to make it a hazard!

This is why you should let her get her eyebrow pierced next time she asks. :/
Seriously though,
glad she's ok!

I just don't think a "Goth" Nubian fits in with my herd, ya know?
We can't figure how the heck she got the silly hook off the door latch in the first place....much less the rest of it.
And that's the least 'gross and disgusting' pic....y'all should see it in person.
I just checked on her again and I can see almost a whole slit of her eye now, and as you can see in the pic, it reacted to light from the flash, so I'm fairly sure the eyeball is ok.
*whew*
What's really messed up is her mom hurt the same eye 3 yrs ago....She stuck a thorn in it...she did end up blinding herself.
Then she killed herself (broke her neck) in a fight w/ another doe 6 mos. later.
My husband says that bloodline is cursed....

that was good! i am glad she didn't blind her self looks like it hurt
It's amazing to see the physical, external trauma a goat can endure and act like nothing's wrong.
But let one come down with coccidiosis, though, or bacterial enteritis and POOF...even the healthiest in the herd can be here one minute and gone the next.
Quite the dichotomy. Goats are such interesting... frustrating ...heartbreaking ...rewarding critters to raise, aren't they?
