Treating corneal infections in horses can be challenging for veterinarians. The high cost and lack of approved ophthalmic products, the need for more concentrated topical medications, and the often time-consuming and labor-intensive treatment protocols are just a few of the contributing factors. A compounding pharmacist can provide valuable assistance to the veterinarian by preparing topical and injectable antibiotics and antifungals that are not available commercially or by fortifying commercially available products. When cost is a major factor, the pharmacist can also make recommendations for the most economically feasible treatment options and can obtain human approved medications. Bacterial and fungal infections often originate from a corneal ulcer. Corneal ulcers in horses are common and often are initiated by a trauma to the corneal epithelium, which then may become infected by bacteria or fungi, either commensal or pathogenic. Other additional or predisposing causes for infected ulcers include previous treatment with topical antibiotics, which may change the conjunctival flora from gram-positive to gram-negative, depending on the antibiotic used. Keratomycosis, a fungal infection of the cornea, is more common in the horse than in dogs and cats. In addition to the predisposing factors mentioned above, a warm to hot, humid climate may increase the likelihood of a horse developing a corneal fungal infection. The typical patient history reveals a trauma occurring at least two weeks or longer ago and no response to a variety of antibiotic or antibiotic-steroid ophthalmic preparations. In fact, application of topical steroids often worsens a fungal infection by increasing the virulence of the fungus. Steroids also diminish the corneal tissue's resistance and enhances proliferation of the fungi, possibly by inhibiting cellular defense mechanisms. Bacterial keratitis also occurs in horses, as well as mixed infections of bacteria and fungi. In fact, at least half of fungal ulcers in horses also have a concurrent bacterial infection. The clinical signs of corneal ulceration are nonspecific and include ocular pain exhibited by blepharospasm, photophobia, and varying degrees of serous to mucoid ocular discharge. Upon examination, there may be obvious signs of corneal inflammation such as loss of corneal epithelium and stroma, corneal edema, corneal neovascularization, and secondary uveal infammation. Since corneal re-epithelization normally occurs in 5 to days, a longer healing time is a good indicator of infection. Rapidly developing keratitis in a previously normal eye or rapid worsening of symptoms in a horse with a corneal ulcer are other indicators of microbial infections. Diagnosis of keratomycosis or bacterial keratitis is made using a combination of cultures and cytology sampling, followed by an ophthalmic examination that includes fluorescein staining. Topical anesthetics are not usually recommended prior to obtaining cultures, since preservatives in the product may limit the yield of organisms on the culture. Some veterinary ophthalmologists, however, use topical anesthetics to facilitate collection and claim they do not significantly affect culture results. Treatment of corneal infections may include surgical and medical components. Surgical intervention is more likely to be necessary in fungal infections than bacterial. The medical component usually involves a combination of products, which include anti-inflammatories, pain medication, and antimicrobials. The route of administration and choice of products depend upon the type and severity of infection. Since many antibiotics and antifungals do not achieve good corneal penetration and concentrations when systemically administered due to the avascular nature of the cornea and the blood-ocular barrier, topically applied medications are most often used in the treatment of corneal infections. In addition to antimicrobial treatment, systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDS ; , such as flunixin or ketoprofen are used to control inflammation, while topically applied parasympatholytic drugs such as Atropine 1% ; help prevent posterior synechia, reduce uveal inflammation, and reverse ciliary spasm 1 ; 2 ; . Timely initiation of antimicrobial therapy is important in the presence of a corneal infection. Pending culture sensitivity results, empiric therapy is indicated based on patient history, examination, and cytology, for example, famotidine and pregnancy.

The middle class ministerial ; drugs may have some mild toxicity and they support the superior medicines. The last category is the lower class inferior ; remedies that are toxic and only used for specific ailments for limited periods of time. A clear understanding of a herb's benefits and possible risks as well as a clearly defined patient diagnosis are essential for the practitioner to safely and effectively counsel patients as to safe and effective choices in herb use. A second problem commonly experienced with the public is the belief that if a little of an herb or medicine ; is good, then more must be better. A well-publicized example is the herb Ma Huang Ephedra ; which is being used for weight loss or as a stimulant. Serious adverse reactions including death have occurred and, in most cases, the people involved were foolishly taking 2-4 times the recommended dosage. Many herbs are useful and safe in small, appropriate doses but as with any medication overdoses can cause unwanted side effects, possible injury, and, if the statistics are correct, rare fatalities. THE DANGERS AND TOXICITY OF HERBAL MEDICINES This book is divided into two sections, one on herbal products, the other on nutritional supplements. They are not the same. A recent hysterical report claimed that herbal products could cause Bovine Spongiforum Encephalitis BSE ; also known as mad cow disease. The author failed to notice that herbs are from the vegetable kingdom and do not contain animal tissue. The author of this report is correct in noting that some supplements do contain animal glandular tissue such as liver, thymus, bone marrow, thyroid, and that the possibility of contamination by infectious proteins from these products may exist. If we are going to critique herbs and supplement products, let us do it with clear knowledge and understanding of the topic. It is not uncommon for studies to be done on animals and the results extrapolated to humans even though we may metabolize or digest various phytochemicals quite differently. Researchers have done studies on a herb without authenticating it's identity making results meaningless Leung A, 2000 ; . It is not uncommon for information on isolated constituents to be confused with the whole herb or studies on I.V. forms of herbs to be confused with oral administration. This type of misinterpretation and misunderstanding gives rise to incorrect data which often continues to be repeated even decades after the original research has been disproven. Other studies have taken hamster oocytes and human sperm, put them into extracts of herbs St. John's wort, Saw Palmetto, Ginkgo, and Echinacea ; and found that in high concentrations some of the herbs denatured the sperm or inhibited the sperm from penetrating the hamster oocyte Ondrizek PR, et al, 1999 ; . This study was widely reported in medical journals and the popular press NY Times ; . One medical editor said it was an important study showing a possible correlation between infertility and the use of herbs. The author of the study, Dr. Richard Ondrizek, was "flabbergasted" that his in-vitro laboratory research is being reported as evidence that these herbs can cause infertility in humans. Dr. Ondrizek stated, "there is absolutely no parallel between this study and humans". Another recent error is due to lack of knowledge about phytochemistry. Several reports have surfaced suggesting Echinacea may be hepatotoxic. There is no evidence of this whatsoever. The error comes from the fact that Echinacea contains very small amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, some forms of which are known hepatotoxins. Unfortunately, the authors of this misinformation failed to differentiate between unsaturated hepatotoxic ; PA's and the non-toxic saturated PA's found in Echinacea. An easy error for the uninformed to make, but one that creates unnecessary fear and confusion. According to the information gathered by acclaimed researcher and scientist, Dr. James Duke, PhD, the statistics on deaths caused by herbs compared to other causes is quite revealing and glucovance.
