My QH gelding is 8 or 9 years old and I noticed this winter that the skin around his eyes was turning white, There was no swelling or anything, and he seems fine, but then again, Buster is a strange horse, doesn't bat an eye at a tractor back fireing but is afraid of the water troth after it spent some time in hibernation. He's always been a bit of a spook, but he seems to see fine, he jumps, he doesn't run into things even if he's in a new area. I took some pictures today with the digital camera, the skin around his eyes was totaly black since I've had him and I got him when he was 2 so this is a recent thing and it's come on pritty fast. here are 2 pictures: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=165770&a=1329633&p=48937987&Sequence=0&res=high and http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=165770&a=1329633&p=48937989&Sequence=0&res=high . I've only been home from college a week so I can't tell if it's still getting worse or not, only that it's worse since the last time I saw it. Does anyone know what causes this, what it means, or if I should be worried or not? hopefuly the pictues I'm trying to attach come out so that you can look and see for yourself.
