Our 30 yr old pony has an scc in her right eye ( unconfirmed biopsy results back tomorrow but my vet is an eye specialist so 99.9% sure that it is)
Pony is fit a d healthy in all other ways a d still ridden once or twice a week by my friends little girl
We really have two options 1. Remove the eye or 2. Leave and PTs later in the year ( vet says 4-6 months) there is a 3rd option of radiotherapy but not meaning to sound like a tight wad I don't think I can justify the expense at her age
I'm thinking summer on steroids then PTs, my husband is liken to give her a go and have the enucleation
Just wondered if anyone had had an eye removed in such an elderly pony and how they got on afterwards
Thanks in advance as stupidly feeling a bit weepy
