Although eye injuries can be common in Quarter horses the injuries shouldn’t be taken lightly. Any time you suspect your horse has injured his eye you should call your equine veterinarian. If your horse has a swollen or puffy eye that is weepy and watery then he most likely has some type of debris in his eye. Your vet may ask you to take a look at your horse’s eye to see if there is any obvious debris. You can do this by taking your thumb and gently rolling down the lower eyelid to reveal the area around the eye. The same can be done by gently rolling the upper eyelid up. If there’s something there, you or the vet will need to flush it out of your horse’s eye. This may be done with an over the counter eye wash or a prescription wash given by your vet Myakka, FL.
