> How long was it swollen before she got uveitis? I got the vet out at the swollen lid and watering stage. She had antibiotic drops called fucithalmic. 48hrs later I noticed her cantering sideways, posture kind of spooky, couldn't easily visualise the pupil because the cornea was slightly hazy. I wasn't happy and it was sunday and me a new horse owner. I sat and cried in her stable. She lay down next to me with her head on my shoulder. I got the vet out and she did a full examination with local anaesthetic drops. She confirmed it was uveitis as I suspected. She prescribed a new antibiotic and anti- inflammatory drops (5 times a day). Also bute for the pain. I don't think a regular person would have known to call the vet. I'm used to diagnosing uveitis in people. >
> >Does the eye seem partly closed? > > It does because of the swelling. Are you sure it isn't the light hurting her eyes? photophobia is a symptom of uveitis. Her cornea was very clear on the photo though. I would't leave it for 48hrs . If it isn't bettter in 24hrs call the vet and at least have a word. My other horse is blind in one eye due to the recurrent kind of uveitis so alarm bells always ring for me. Sue Coombes
