One of my ponies has had very messy sticky runny eyes for past few days. I got the vet in and she said its conjunctivitis caused by the over excessive amount of flies. I've been putting antibiotic gel in them ( which is a major fight three times a day) and they clear up nice. So I put them in one field to graze and he comes back in really sticky and sore again. So vet suggested using a fly mask with him. This could be a real problem as he's head shy and really hates anything touching or around his head, especially ears. Is there any way to do this with minimal drama pls ? I was thinking of maybe keeping his head collar on so he won't run away and freak out then I can't get him back. Any ideas. ? Thanks.
