Irritated Eye

[ManyMinisFarm]

You know when you poke your self in the eye pretty hard, and your eye runs and you blink a lot. My filly bumped her eye and it's running and she's blinking! There are no cuts, sores, etc. Her eye is fine! It's just really irritated... What should I do?

Watch it very closely! The tiniest eye bump can be an abrasion which left untreated can become infected and lead to an ulcer. I would flush the eye just to keep it clean, as debris may build up due to the tearing and put on a fly bonnet to keep her from rubbing it and further injuring herself. If her discomfort continues, call the vet. You can never be to careful with eye injuries.

You can never be too careful with eye injuries!! Yes, indeed watch her closely.

I agree , the slightest increase in discomfort or increase in fluid from the eye call the vet immediately . Eye injuries are the worst . Hope it heals quickly.

Her eyes is all good now! It's was just very irritated.

Thank goodness! I am paranoid about eyes and I've been thinking of you both. Thanks for the update.

So happy your filly is better!!!!!!

That happened to my little dwarf Josie only she had a small piece of hay stuck in her eye. I washed it out with sterile eye wash and it teared and looked irritated for a day but the next day was all better!! But eye irritations can turn into something very serious so they do need to be watched!!!
