My horses eat hay and pasture grasses, both untreated. No commercial oils, any oil I feed is cold pressed. I generally feed Black Oil Sunflower Seeds with minimal chemical processing because they are still in the shell and sold for wild birds which are very sensitive to chems.
ERU, or Equine Recurrent Uveitis is not simply cataracts or retinal degeneration, it is a recurrent inflammation of the eye. In this horses case his episodes always follow days of high wind. Dust and trauma can trigger an episode. Sufferers may or may not develop all the sequelae. In some the eyeball simply shrinks down to nothing. Others experience contracted pupils that will not dialate. Some get cataracts. Others detached retinas. Even those studying the disorder know very little about it. Although some of the originating causes are thought to be known, they are not proven, yet.
