We a have questions for anyone who has a horse with
ERU.
Our gelding is a pinto 1/2 Arab 17yrs
old.
He was diagnosed with autoimmune ERU.
His right eye has a cataract and the left eye is
inflamed. We were treating with banamine paste for 10 days until
we could get him into an ophthalmologist. His eyes looked bright and
clear but there is still inflammation deep inside.
The ophthalmologist is recommending cyclosporine
implants because he would be a good candidate.
The gelding has high pain tolerance therefore
his flare up is invisible to us until it is too late. He shows no signs of
squinting, tearing or sensitive to light.
My question is about the implants and if anyone has
used them or is there a better way to take care of him?
We have been online and we are just swimming yes
and no's as to the implants.
He is to have the implants June 17th if the
inflammation is completely gone.
Happy trails &
Thanks to all

effective mental health investment!
