Brain Tumours - Any Info Appreciated!!
      14/10/2008 13:08

Can anyone offer their advice or experiences on this?

It was picked up on last year that my horse (who is a cremello so has distinctive eyes) has a noticeable distortion in both eyes, above the Iris. Almost like something was behind his eye and pushing outwards?

The vet took photographs, and after going away and consulting a specialist came back to me and said that it was likely that it could be the onset of cataracts and not to worry but to be aware of any changes.

At a Monty Roberts display a few weeks back I met a lady that practices Equine Iridiology (the study of the eye to analyse internal areas and problems), and after explaining about his eye she came out a week later to complete a session on him. It was extremely interesting and I found out so much about him that I didn't know, relating to many internal organs. She also took photographs of his eye and came back to me yesterday after consulting another specialist within her field. I have been told he has a low grade tumour almost between the eyes, and that it is highly unlikely to ever cause him problems but to be aware of any changes.

He is 27 years old and doing very well for his age, and the only thing I have noticed is excessive head rubbing whenever I see him. Sometimes he will make a point of finding me in the field just to rub his head? He is very well other than this, and I have noticed no other symptoms of significance.

I would be grateful of any feedback...
