In Lady's case, it was just a small white spot on her eye, not huge like the picture of the horse's eye. I am so glad I took her to the ophthalmologist! They are also quite painful. |
Yes, they do get nasty and they are painful. If caught early they respond to treatment .. and no they do not look like that pic on that link in the beginning. I just have had many and have never had my vet miss one is all I am saying.
