John Lyons is a well known horse training
clinician. He had an old Appy stallion that went totally blind from a
reaction to an antibiotic. Zip went everywhere with John, and I had
the privilege of trail riding with both of them. Zip was about the age of
your friends' horse when he went blind. He was 26 years old when John had
him laid to rest. Where there is love and patience, there is
hope.
A friend of mines 22 yr old gelding just went to the vet yesterday
because she noticed he was acting like he could not see ( his right eye
was poked out years ago by his old owner's jackass kids) his left eye was
watery and he seamed like he could see shadow's.They got him to the vet where
the said he had an ulceration of the eye. but from what who knows .They could
not find anything in it. The poor guy looks like Frankenstein they had to sew
the eye closed and use tubing to keep The stitches from riping and a drain
line and another IV lock type thing to put antibiotics and a rinse threw
every 3 hours!! for almost 2 weeks! (I get that fun job while she is
at work) anyways the prognoses for if he will see again sounds 50/50 anyone
have any experience with this? any success story's or at least story's that
will encourage her?
