My 14 year old mare has as long as I know her (11 years) watering eyes. So far I could control it with cleaning and every now and than a paste I can get at our vet.
At this moment it is getting out of control. She now has long slimy things coming out of her eyes. I can also tell her eyes are irritated because they are red and itches a lot.
I have the feeling her tear-ducts are blocked.
A few years ago we had a foal at our stable that missed 1 of her tear-ducts.
At the clinic they gave one with a surgery.
Is there a way to clean the tear-ducts?
I know this can be done with dogs but what about horses?
How can I find out if they really are blocked?
Does she need a visit to the clinic to handle this?
Does anybody have experience with this so I can get some advice.
