“Could be” but I have one that has a clogged tear duct that‘a so impacted clearing it wasn’t possible. Eye runs constantly.
With my horse it's a sign that he may be developing a corneal ulcer again warranting a trip to our vet for a thorough eye exam.
Can be…… at least in the case of my mare
False.
Yes... but it can also be a sign of a cloged tear duct (or as well as an infection in the eye.. though infection is generally accompanied by swelling of the eye/3rd eyelid).

Another addition of Dr. Mrad's #TipsAndTricks
The jaw needs to be open to shoot a clear view of the teeth when taking dental radiographs. Instead of inserting a speculum, Dr. Mrad uses an indestructible dog toy. It is quick, easy, and more comfortable for the patient. As always, she's thinking #OutsideTheBox to provide exceptional care. #Brilliant ... See MoreSee Less

Dr Mrad is just THE BEST!!!!

Clearing Impaction Colic: Watch Dr. Lanham and Dr. Mrad empty a horse’s large colon.
Colic with severe impactions often involves significant amounts of food or sand lodged in the pelvic flexure, a horseshoe-shaped curve in the colon requiring the veterinarian to evacuate it manually. In these cases, the vet will lift the colon onto an elongated tray, make an incision, and empty the colon into a waste bin using surgically sterile hoses to keep the operating area clean and to help soften the impaction. ...

That is really cool!!! Obviously not for the poor horse and it’s owner🙁. But seeing how it’s done is incredible.
Wow! Could you educate us more on the recovery after this type of procedure?
That is so cool. The team at Mid Rivers is amazing.
Our Friesian just had this surgery. So thankful colic surgery has come so far. He’s back up and fully recovered just a few weeks later. ❤️
Many years ago the amazing team at Mid Rivers performed colic surgery on my paint mare "Tally". I can't believe I watched it all, she's still going strong at 25 years old!! I do remember "Jackie" took great care of her while she was there!
Wow! These vet's are amazing. Always good information.
This is outstanding work! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this! I always wondered how this was done!
Yes you need to speak with an insurer what they can do now is have her value appraised once you get the value appraised they will write a life insurance or mortality policy and then you can purchase a major medical rider ... For years I was with a lady out of Springfield named Kay whose agency ended up being purchased by Troxel TROXEL she has long been retired but another gal took over I think her name was Barb I’d have to look but there are several out there Markel MARKEL is a large one my insurance was under written by the Hartford group and you might ask them for agents locally or just google Equine insurance There are tons of them out there or just ask online several local people should be able to give you some names
I am soooo happy there are treatments like this available for horses and hopefully, one day, for all animals. I don’t mean this particular treatment for all animals, but thinking outside of “traditional” treatments would be awesome.
Amazing! Curious what the recovery time is for this procedure.
So here's an honest question. Can a horse that suffers from impaction, get megacolon?
What an amazing insight
Where’s the horse 🐎????
That's horsesh*t.
Wow

TUESDAY TRIVIA ANSWER: When a joint or tendon sheath is punctured, a subsequent infection can cause what type of unique discharge? Frothy. Conversely, if it's blunt trauma to a joint, the body will attempt to dilute the inflammatory cells and chemicals by increasing the amount of joint fluid called effusion or fluid swelling inside the joint. ...
