Pony With Eye Injury

We were called by a dog walker who was concerned about a pony near long Ash with a pussy eye. Our welfare officer attended and inspected the pony and it's eye. The pony was lying down and quite tame so she was able to get a proper look at the affected eye. The eye socket was oozing pus and it looked like the eye had been punctured, probably by a stick or twig. The ponies owner was informed and came out immediately, they agreed that the pony should be removed from the down and treated as soon as possible.
