  • 36 year old mare

    From Deb Ferguson@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 2 16:38:56 2020
    Tonite my old mare was wandering aimlessly though the pasture. She usually comes when I call but she just walked from one corner to the next. Not following the others as usual. When I approached her she shied and flinched when I tried to get close. Her
    eyes didn’t look right. Almost like she was instantly blind. She also was a little off balance. When I finally got her back to the lot she was eating we’ll but still flinched and darted every time I got close. Can a horse go instant.y blind within a
    day? She was fine this morning.

    Yes, though in my experience usually only after years of chronic
    uveitis. However we did have one go blind in one eye ovenight due to a detached retina. Get a vet out their IMMEDIATELY.
