I hope this is the right place to post. My mom's friend has a horse that has COPD. She occasionally gets red eyes from allergies and they want to treat it with Boraks (sp?). They would like to know how strong the solution must be to treat this horse and how often to do so?

Hello Lea-Anne,
We cannot prescribe a treatment for a horse that we have not examined. There are over the counter eye rinse solutions that contain boric acid but as to whether this is appropriate therapy we cannot judge.
