Sore Eyes
“Eye Spy… an Emergency!”
Eye issues in horses are never a “wait and see” problem. A tiny scratch can become a big ulcer in hours. Particularly if you use the wrong left over ointment!
First aid:
>shade,
>fly control (FLY MASK)
>Rinse with saline only
>small amount of bute if available
> early as possible vet attention.
A squinty eye = next day urgent.
