Giving Eye Medication with Positive Reinforcement

[@barbmcculloch7010]

Any more "doctoring "videos would be great. It is always a stressful thing for owners and horses. Fear begets a fear response.

Absolutely helpful!! My poor girl had grass stuck in her eye and now developed an ulcer as the grass scratched her cornea so I need to apply ointment twice a day for 7 days and shes super sensitive to touching her eye now so I'm hoping this will help!!

This worked great. First time out of the gate. My horse is clicker trained (nothing fancy) but immediately becomes cooperative when C/T are invoked. I probably did more preliminary rewards than was necessary but it certainly set me up for success the next day. Thank you so much for the video. By far the best on treating the eye.

Thank you looks like what my gelding is having issues with very runny left eye with that drainage I can see in Henrys' eye as well in the inner corner. Our vet said it was a light scratch in cornea so I have been adding treatment the last 4 days thus far! Thanks for the tips! :) Helen

THANK YOU! I will be trying this tonight!

[@ow1722]

thank you this will help alot because my horse has got moon blindness and she hates puting the ointment in her eye so hopefully she will do it for a treat.

Ahhh!!! So timely! My Theodore has the same thing. Thanks for the techniques! I say a lot of "good boys" with treats.

Eye-rony that I'm subscribed to this channel but didn't know this was on here until I needed it done for my own horse. Yes, I went there with the pun, sorry lol. But yeah, I might try this tomorrow as my horse is very averted to this. Tickled me that Henry was looking for treats whilst she held the treatment, which reminds me of my own horse. I noticed she didn't quite get into his eyelid, not sure if this works? And obviously struggled a bit, no surprise really as this is generally what happens and anyone who demonstrates a perfect administration just has a really well-behaved horse, probably had hours of training like this.

glad to see this. maybe you could share how to start bridge conditioning first for people (and horses) who don't know what the bridge is and how to use it. Lovely appy!

[@carlaeskelsen]

Thanks for that suggestion. I needed help with those, but I'm not familiar with clicker training, nor are my horses, although they are generally very cooperative and trusting, even with new challenges. But, I don't think I can do this. I don't understand it and I don't think they would, either.

Looking a bit of advice. How would you recommend going about riding and retraining a 9yr old horse that hasnt been ridden in around 6 months but had previously done beginner dressage training shows and sets and had jumped 80cm

great help my horse has a red scalera not going away hope its not cancer

[@gwenconfalone4251]

hello, VERY helpful as I am currently treating my horses eye. Just a silly question, are you actually using a clicker (didn't see one) or are you cluckinig your tongue? I tried this today and it seems to really work. I havent been able to actually spread the eyelids and treat, but I was able to shmear the ointment on the edge of the eyelids so some ointment did get in.

[@rosglassworld]

Saw a horse getting wormed. Thought good idea to give treats with a syringe to get process easier. Also wondered why it's not flavors!

[@Conny226]

What type of treat
