Tips for managing uveitis

• Put your horse out with a fly mask at all times and all year round
• Never blow or sweep the aisle when the horse or pony is in the stall-the dust can irritate their eyes and cause inflammation
• Always treat the eyes even if they are quiet-keep maintenance medication on hand that you can use once of twice a week to minimize the amount of flare-ups (your vet can give you something, RV was on diclocenac)
• Keep your horse in on windy days
• Always treat the uveitis for a few days after the eye is looking better-just because it looks fine does not mean its all cleared up-have your vet check it one more time
• Don't stress your horse out, this can cause flare-ups
• Keep some banamine on hand-time is not on your side with this disease, an hour matters
• Consider using the herbs, if your horse has a history of uveitis you may want to try them-the disease only gets worse- I get all of RV's herbs from Equine Science-www.herbs4horses.com
• BE PATIENT WITH YOUR HORSE- you will get through it, but you need to do it as a team!
