My horse's wound/eye is causing problems - can anyone help?

[MyHorse]

My horse had stitches, it was fine. Now it has began bleeding again, his eye is also drooping, but that was doing it before... Do I need to call the vet out again? My £££ is getting very small...

Anyone?

Yep, vet!

Maybe take a look at horse and hound forum in the veterinary sub.

I think you should call the vet.

As a vet myself I would advise calling you vet and having a chat it looks like it may have been banged and reopened slightly at the nose end of the wound.

Thank you! I was so hoping that wasn't going to be the case

Thank you, it has stopped bleeding, it doesn't look like the wound is opening, but I'll still get him checked!

It doesn't look infected. I'd clean it and put some Derma gel on it.

Definitely vet. Let us know what thy say. Poor fella.

I'd say vet but call them first and send them a pic. If you've got a good vet they'll avoid an unnecessary call out. I wouldn't mess around with an eye injury though.

Vet definately and ASAP!!

Do hope his eye is better, Please let us know. Just one thing: flies are hell for horses at this time of year. If you runout of fly repellent try avon skin so soft original spray. Flies hate it and it is reasonable!!

Yep vet. If you don't and he loses it...

Yes. I have horses. Eyes are one of the things I wouldn't delay in calling the vet for.

There is a topic for horses. The Tack Room. NOT being arse. Just incase you didn't know. Hope eye gets better quickly.

VET eyes are not to be messed with! There's a page called horse chit chat on Facebook you'll get loads of support on there I'd imagine (just watch out for 20 minute experts)

Vet, without delay. Good luck.

As for Horse and Hound and facebook, ignore the obligatory idiots who'll suggest coating it in food-grade manuka honey / feeding turmeric or any of the other faddy things... There's no substitute for proper veterinary care, especially where eyes are concerned.

I would call the vet (many years professional experience with horses)
