Nice post by Abbey's Run Equestrian highlighting the risks of grass seeds in horses mouth this time of year. As forage goes to head lots of sharp seeds can cause havoc inside your horses mouth, especially Barley grass seeds!!!
Hosing the mouth out if possible and lifting the lip is a great way to check all is okay and help reduce nasty foreign body reactions!!

WORLD DONKEY DAY 8TH MAY 2024

Today is a day to give thanks to the wonderful desert animal the Donkey.
Their unique characteristic, strength and intelligence have been utilised by humans for centuries and they are one of the most hard working animals in the world today.

I am fortunate as a veterinarian to give dental care to many well loved donkeys and it has been a pleasure!
However, many donkeys throughout the world are vulnerable to significant welfare issues but we are grateful for a number of charitable organisations that help support these donkeys.
We want to remember in particular, on World Donkey Day, those equids in conflict zones throughout the world. Thousands of donkeys have been impacted by the recent wars in Sudan and Gaza and urgently need our help.

Safe Haven for Donkeys https://www.facebook.com/safehaven4donkeys
have been working tirelessly in Egypt, Israel and now Gaza and are trying to raise funds for food and veterinary aid for donkeys currently affected by the conflict in Gaza.

Please help support this worthy charity and make a difference to donkeys in the world.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!!

That's a wrap to what was an incredibly hectic 2023 year.

We've had the joy and pleasure to serve and treat so many horses, ponies, donkeys, zebras, giraffes, wombats and meet lovely people along the way.

We've had complex surgeries extracting diseased and painful teeth. Sinus surgeries secondary to infected teeth. Routine dentals to keep horses happy and pain free.

This year we continued teaching the next generation of equine veterinarians, tutor the ever-growing number of equine vets now doing dentistry and attending Toothfest 2023 where world leaders came together to share their knowledge of dentistry.

The future is very bright for advancing the welfare of horses and other mammals in providing the highest level of veterinary dental care.

Thank you to all clients and organisations who have embraced and encouraged the best welfare standards possible.

Thank you again to all in the profession for your referrals over the year.

From all the team at HVD we wish you all the very best of fortune and good health for you and all your animals in 2024
