 I Am Always Right

Location: stray dump capital of the world | I have a mare that has something similar. It took about 6 months before we got her where she could open her eye without squinting and it being watery. We thought it was watering from flies, but it turns out she banged her eye on something. She cleared up fine, but was left with a spot in her lower right corner. It seemed to take forever to get it to clear up and we visited the vet frequently to keep tabs on the healing process. We were obsessive, but he was more laid back assuring us she wouldn't lose the eye, but it would have a scar. This is the eye now.

| Doctoring the eye is so frustrating. I have had two with problems. And we had several diffent eye drops had to put in every 4 hours to save the eye. Besides ulcerof the eye, she had herpes coming out throught he eye. Spent $3000 with an optimoligist. Then had a colt this fall, come up with the same thing your dealing with. Like above poster quoted about the tear duct, we flush with saline and eye antibiotic. Besides doctoring the eye there is one EXCEPTIONAL product to feed and let me tell you, after spending all that money on the first horse, I called Bob at THE and he added stuff for my horses eye to her dailey stuff, not only did it heal the herpes, but healed over the ulcer, which they wanted to do surgery on. Unbelievable. Then when this colt came up with an ulcer and watery eyes, went to doctoring and odered the THE stuff and boom gone! That stuff is amazing. But you have got to stay on the doctoring, the optimoligist showed me how to doctor and put the meds in. Small animal syringe with needle, that you take the metal off, and then open the eye up with two fingers and shoot small stream on the upperinner lid. Also need to keep lubricted with all natural tears. You dont' want to get a fungus on top of the injury. And the feed through stuff helped mine. Now the first horse does have a small scar in hers, but the colt, you can't even tell. and his healed up in a Month. Took several on the other horse, because I should have called bob right off, once started feeding her stuff the herpes was gone in a little over 2 weeks. Good Luck. | |
