Leptospirosis & Equine Recurrent Uveitis in Horses

Leptospirosis isn’t picky about barns. Where there’s moisture and wildlife, there’s risk—and the aftermath can include equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), the most common cause of equine blindness.

Treatment & Management

Comfort measures you can start today (alongside vet care)

  1. Targeted muscle relief (face & jaw): On clean, intact skin well away from the eye, owners use Draw It Out® 16oz Gel to ease facial tension that builds from squinting.
  2. Skin comfort around irritated areas: Apply Rapid Relief Restorative Cream on clean, intact skin, staying at least 1 inch away from the eye.
