Waffled a lot!
My mare came in a couple of weeks ago with her eye shut and weepy. By the next morning it was fine, over the next week or so it was a bit watery now and again, but fine. Yesterday she came in again with it shut again, so I called the vet, who came this morning. Naturally the eye was perfect again today, but he put fluro drops in it and had a good look, nothing suspicious, so she just had some drops.
The vet left and I got the other horse to turn out, and he walked a bit footy. On trotting him up he was slightly lame. Why couldn't I have noticed it ten minutes earlier before the vet had arrived!! No heat or bumps obvious, not very lame, so have turned out and will see what happens.
Why can't they do things by the textbook!!

Because they haven't read the textbook, or they have and decided against following it? Something that came to my mind when I read your post happened some years ago, one of my bitches came crawling out from beneath the sofa were she had been sleeping for over an hour, stood up on mainly three legs and limped when she tried walking, felt the leg and paw and couldn't find anything wrong, took her to the veterinarian and after a lot of ifs and about - she didn't limp at the veterinarians etc. - I insisted that there must be something wrong with her right front leg, the veterinarian finally found that she had managed to twist one of her toes! 
How? When? She didn't show any signs of having any problems before crawling in under the sofa.
