My sec d x appaloosa 2yr old had a big inflammatory reaction last Friday to a bite or sting on his chest and swelled up across his chest and down his front legs and slightly swollen eyes at the same time. The body swelling went down in 2 days but one of his eyes has stayed swollen. There is no discharge, just the odd tear but not wet round his eye. When his head is down the corner of his eye gapes and the tissue inside is red in colour. I did a salt water bathe and he let me touch it and open it. The horse flies are really bad with us right now and pollen is very high, he's grazing a field with lots of seeding grasses. I'm thinking it's too much coincidence to be a trauma or ulcer and is just the inflammatory reaction still rather than an infection?
