A Mare Defies the Odds in Her Battle with Cancer
2009-11-02 13:45:14 | Source

At 24, Q.T. could take on horses half her age going around barrels. The aptly named gray Quarter Horse--Q.T. stood for Quick Turns--had been purchased by the Hollond family of Emporia, Kansas, three years before, and she had excelled at barrel racing ever since.

In fact, she had carried the two Hollond daughters, Lindsey and Taylor, to victories in local competition that brought them each a trophy saddle.

Then one afternoon, Kim Hollond noticed that Q.T.'s right eye was nearly swollen shut. When Kim gently pried the eyelids apart, she could see that the eyeball itself looked a bit milky. She immediately called the family's regular veterinarian, Alan Lewis, DVM.

When Lewis arrived, he carefully examined the eye and noticed a striking abnormality. "There was clearly a growth in the third eyelid," he recalls. Technically known as the nictitating membrane, the third eyelid is a thick fold of tissue that lies flat on the inner corner of the horse's cornea.

Lewis consulted with Alan Brightman, DVM, a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist at Kansas State University. Given the mare's age and general good health, the two veterinarians decided to start with conservative treatment. They prescribed a topical steroid/antibiotic gel to try to shrink or eliminate the mass.

The gel, which was applied to the affected eye twice a day, seemed to do the trick at first: The mass got smaller and the eyelid swelling nearly disappeared. But each time the treatment was stopped, the mass returned and Q.T.'s eye would swell shut again.
