Sam headed out yesterday expecting a routine day - just ten dental treatments on the list. But as he worked at the first yard, it quickly turned into something much more dramatic…

One of the ponies unexpectedly went into labour. While quietly keeping an eye from a distance, Sam noticed things weren’t progressing as they should - the foal had become stuck, and the mare was struggling. Thankfully, being a vet with many skills (not just teeth!), Sam was able to step in, assist with the birth, and safely deliver the foal. Whilst waiting to check the foal could stand, he popped a set of wolf teeth out on another horse.

We’re thrilled to report both mum and baby are doing well 🐴💖 Sometimes, it’s all about being in the right place at the right time!

Tooth Extractions: Clinic vs Yard – What’s best for your horse?

When it comes to removing teeth, there’s no one-size-fits-all way of doing it. Some procedures are best carried out in our clinic, while a yard visit may be more effective for others - for example, if the horse is unable to travel, the environment is quiet and calm during our visit and the horse has a suitable temperament and doesn't require stocks.

However, for more complex cases, or when the yard setup is not appropriate for a successful extraction, the clinic offers a more controlled setting to ensure both safety and comfort.

We always assess each horse as an individual and will work with you to choose the most suitable setting for their care, so that every horse can receive the treatment they need in the least stressful way possible.

As always, your horse’s wellbeing is our priority.

Vets and EDTs can refer cases to us via email or our website: https://bescobyequinevets.co.uk/refer-a-case/

Whilst mum gets her teeth sorted, baby gets lunch 😀
Sorry we are a bit quiet on here - we are both busy squirrelling away behind the scenes. Clients - we know you are all probably devastated that we didn't get round to sending out a March newsletter but fear not, your April newsletter will be with you next week!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
