This mare has a bulge in each eye above the pupil. There is a small amount of discharge in each eye (yellow) which I am sure is connected to the problem. There has been no discharge that I have seen prior to this. She has been wearing a fly mask every day. She gets handled often and is shown. The vet has been called, but wanted to know what you think.
