This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jim just called me out to look at his QH. His right eye is swollen, but with NO discharge and no evidence of injury at all. The lid - top and (I believe) bottom is swollen, and the eye is sort of partially closed. He looks sleepy in that eye. If I act like I am going to hit the eye, he blinks, but the reaction is slower than the other eye. Is this an emergency - where I need to get a vet NOW? The only thing I can think of is a blow to the eye - that he has the horsey equivalent of a black eye.
I thought of uveitis, but there should be a discharge, according to my "Veterinary notes for horse owners (NOT all that helpful). Any thoughts? TIA - Gail Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
