My horse has a mass slowly growing behind one eyeball - it's not bothering him yet so the plan is to wait until the autumn (fewer flies, easier for him to have time off and not pile on weight) and then remove the eye and the mass. I've worked with horses who only have one eye and read research that says the vast majority of horses cope very well with just one so although I'd rather this wasn't happening it doesn't feel like the end of the world. The mass is unlikely to be malignant so the overall prognosis is good.
I'm interested in experiences of this in terms of managing the wound and any rehabilitation back to riding. PLEASE no horror stories unless they are to make a point about what not to do! I'm trying to stay positive about the whole thing. Thanks in advance.
