CASE 1:  CORNEAL ULCER

Toby, a 24 year old Quarter Horse gelding was diagnosed with Equine Recurrent Uveitis several years ago.  Just recently, he was treated for a corneal ulcer.  With treatment, the ulcer resolved in 15 days, leaving a permanent scar on the cornea. 

An injury to the eye should always be considered a medical emergency as the situation can deteriorate quickly.  With proper and immediate care, a corneal ulcer can be resolved.
