  this afternoon when getting my 15 yr old little boy in i noticed one eye was very cloudy instantly i figured he had just gone blind , the other eye is starting to cloud over  so i got on the phone to the vets who are coming out tomorw  it seems he may very well have uveitis which is potentially not good news in horses

oh my, poor you...they say "it never rains, but it POURS"..... guess thats applicable for you ATM.  Don't know anything about horses, but someone will be along with advice/words of wisdom soon.

u can say that again , i have just paided of all my debts to be clear for Christmas and to start saving up for my big horse to go away to a friends in jan to be broken in properly { very long story} and now this  also i am waiting for my small animal vet to call back as the cyrst on buddys neck { my old jack russell } is still weeping  i can do with him not having to have surgery as well  .

Sorry to hear that Looby.  Have looked in my 'Horse Doctor' book and it's not listed.  Without going in the loft to read through my other reference books, I have no idea.  Not something I've come across before.  Hugs anyway and I hope it all turns out well.

  foxy thats the link i have just pm to wighty    great minds think alike .

it is treatable but propably very expensive so glad i never cancelled my vet insurance , i think i am just in shock hes so adorable and after spending the first year and a half of his life being beaten an then finding me this just isnt fair for him  . he was that badly beaten that even after the 14 years i have had him i  still have probs touching one side of his head . i shall find a piccy of  lorrie

Oh the poor boy Looby, when I am next down your way must bring my boots so I can have a look at your horses Lots of positive horsey thoughts going to him..

[karlooben]

this is little loo , i wanted to drive him but he would not even pull a trye to get used to weight without hitting the floor and his eyes going pure white so i desided to have him as a pet  and hes been spoiled ever since
