Quarter Horse's question about Pollen Allergy

Question

My horse has what I think is allergy. Left eye was swollen, than mucus with small amount of bleed in left nostril. Some days worse than others. Has started itching. His appetite is good and is in general good spirits.

Accepted Answer

Without examining Cowboy I cannot say whether there is an allergy, infection or other cause leading to these symptoms; if there is an allergy it is important to identify it so that any possible management steps may be taken. You should discuss this with your Veterinarian so that they can examine Cowboy and then decide on a plan of action. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
