Champion Trotter's Swollen Eye

A champion trotter was hit in the eye by a flapping strap. It was very swollen, weeping and painful. After 3 weeks of wrestling with him, trying to get ointments in his eye, he wouldn't let anyone near it and the vet talked about removing the eye which would have ended his successful career.

I used purple on it, and after the first surprised flick of his head, the horse didn't move, obviously enjoying the sensation - and not being touched. The trainer kept on using purple and Bioptron, and he was back in work in another 3 weeks.
