This little pony got the works today 🐴
- X-rays of feet to assist with corrective trimming from having a history of laminitis. This will help the farrier to provide the best trim/shoe as we can see if there has been any pedal bone rotation, thickness of the sole, and general hoof structure:
- Dental. Horses generally need their teeth done every 12 months if between the age of 6-20 yrs old. If they are younger or older they generally need a dental every 6 months. This is because horses teeth continue to grow all year round, which can cause sharp points, waves, ridges, mouth ulcers etc if not properly maintained. This requires sedation, a light and power tools. Only Veterinarians are legally allowed to sedate horses.
- Hendra, Tetanus and Strangles vaccination. This is a yearly vaccine if they have had their initial boosters.
- De-worming with Equest plus Tape.
