Darn horses. Just when you think everything is going great they throw a wrench in the works. I went to give the boys their goodies this morning and Cisco didn't look quite right. Swollen eye.

I ran to the store and got some saline, then got a really good look at the eye, rinsed it (with some difficulty) and put ointment on it. I didn't see anything in there so I think it may be a sting or fly irritation. My vet said pink eye is going around because of the flies. Ooh, I better go wash my hands again. Then I sprayed them all down really well with fly spray and put fly masks on them. I think I'm going to go buy them new masks today, mine are getting rather floppy.

  1. Ditto gets it every summer from the flies. I use Equispot on her. She looks like I need to do it again.

  2. Hopefully it's just the flies, that happened to my sister's mare one summer. My Boy's eyes tear from the flies, but I'm hesitant to put a fly mask on him after what happened the last two times I did it, a year ago, he developed this bizarre head-shaking reaction. I'm not sure if it was the mask but luckily our flies haven't been too bad this year. I hope Cisco is on the mend soon!
