Runny eye

My horses eye is running. I'm a new horse owner so I'm not sure what's wrong. I love him to no end and want to take very good care of him. What should I do?

Congratulations on your new horse.  Things that are going on with the eye are best left to a veterinarians's care.  Please call your horse vet and have him take a look at it.  Eye problems are not something owners should diagnose or treat on their own.
Since you are a new horse owner, here is a link to a free brochure that you may be interested in.  It is by the American Assocation for Equine Practitioners (Horse Veterinarians).

Keep in touch and let us know what the Vet says about your horse's eye.
