It's a great group here, always helpful. And kind.
If the eye is clear and runny I have found it is usually a blocked tear duct. A vet would have to attend to that, though.
If the eye is runny with a yellow tinge, it is probably conjunctivitis. While nothing can replace vet advice for an infection if it is conjunctivitis I swear by 15 ml cod liver oil, 3 ml in each eye and the rest in the mouth. Works every time. Or the vet may prescribe an anti biotic ointment. Also a dark fly mask may help while she recovers.
Make sure there is nothing in the eye and no stuff around annoying her to make her eyes run! Such as ammonia fumes if she is stabled, or bedding, or even dusty feed. Or spray you are using when grooming, etc, etc.
Take any eye injury seriously, though. I also find it is useful to just wipe the sleep out of their eyes every morning, too. I have a pedantic habit of doing this, I do it like a maniac with every horse I encounter LOL!!

Subject: RE: [AskAVet] runny eye
Hello group!!
Been a member for only a short time and now I have a question.
I have a 2 year old very healthy filly that within the last few months has
developed a runny eye. Only one, and no other symptoms.
Any idea what this might be?
Sue
