Q: This is for knowledgeable and experienced horse-people only!
My mare (shes eight years old) has nasty eyes. They get "goopy" stuff in them, and its gross. I dont want it to harm her health though. I cant figure out what it is. Its not alergies, cause if it was, she would colic, get hives, founder or look sick. She hasnt had any of those problems. Its not flies irritating her eyes, there are no flies. It is way too cold for flies. (the high was 29 degrees, but it feels like 19!) Its not dirt getting into her eyes, I thoroughly checked and washed them out. There is no place for her to get dirt in her eyes anyway. We dont use shavings in stalls either, so its not that. My other horses dont have this problem, just this mare. Shes not lazy, or inactive, shes perfectly healthy. I dont want this to become a problem for her, please (if you think you know what it is) tell me!
Sorry its so long! (oh, and dont say to visit the vet. I cant afford to visit a vet right now, and they are only accepting emmergancy cases because of the holidays)
Thank you!
