Join Dr. Miesen as she discusses common diseases and injuries of the horse’s eye, how to recognize if there is a problem and how to treat them. She will also discuss appropriate steps at home, when to call the veterinarian, and how to determine if it is an emergency or if you can wait until morning to call your veterinarian.
