Is swat ointment safe to put on eye soars?

I would not put anything that is not intended to go in the eye too close to the eye. Eyes are sensitive organs on any animal and are very important for a horse, so you should always approach treatment of eyes with caution and consult a veterinarian before applying any ointment to the eye. If the problem is just flies, then try a fly repellent for the face such as "War Paint". a href="http://www.kyhorse.com/store/pest/warpaint.htm" rel="nofollow"http://www.kyhorse.com/store/pest/warpai…/a The stuff works pretty well but be sure to follow the directions on the label. We used this stuff at the vet clinic where I worked and it did wonders on keeping the horses fly-free. If these sores are caused by fly irritation then keeping the flies away might allow them time to heal on their own. However, if these horses are not your horses, then I would not apply anything to them without permission of the owners. If they are your horses, or if you are able, I suggest having a vet out to look at the horses and be sure that nothing more is going on with them.
