After a very long maternity break, Liz Paton BVSc is finally getting back into some equine dentistry! Liz is excited to have joined the Veterinary Centre Ranfurly (Blue Cross Vets) team. Liz will be doing 1-2 days of dental work each month as well as her mixed vet role, in the Oamaru area as well in the Maniototo. The Veterinary Centre will be aiming to organise group bookings which makes it more economical for you and efficient for us. You can either host some friends at your property, or a group day at a local venue can be arranged.
As winter kicks in this is a good time to get teeth sorted and help your horse or pony make the most of their winter feed. If you would like to book in please contact your nearest Blue Cross Veterinary Centre. There is a long waiting list but the Veterinary Centre will endeavour to fit you in as soon as possible.

Bit overdue to update this page… I am on maternity leave and may be taking a year or two off. Sorry to those who were on my waiting list earlier this year- The past 12 months have been really challenging with health issues! Over the winter I helped write exams and mark for the Manzcvsc equine dentistry exams which was a good review time but hard work! Also made me realise how limited I am in terms of utilising my knowledge without having X-ray and stocks. Maybe one day! all the best for the season everyone and I will update this page when I am returning to work.

I’m coming to Oamaru on Friday 21 January if anyone would like to book in. 🐴🙂

Hi everyone, hope you are all coping well with lockdown. Just wanted to let you all know that while we are in level 4 lockdown, vet services are an essential service when there is urgent care needed - e.g. a horse in pain or unwell that may suffer if not seen by a vet. However non-urgent procedures such as routine dentals are to be post-poned until we have dropped lock down levels. Looking forward, I am excited to be working in with Vet Equine Otago Ltd, in Mosgiel - I can now offer radiographs and extractions as they are kindly allowing me to use their facilities and support team. I’m also moving towards providing more general equine services - general health, lameness, gelding surgeries etc; with the support of the Vet Equine Otago team. So I’m looking forward to when we get Corona virus under control as I’m sure you all are too!

I will be heading over to the Maniototo for dental work on Friday 30th July - if anyone would like horses/ponies seen please get in touch. Group bookings of 6+ in one location - flat rate of $120/pony or $140/horse, otherwise additional mileage charged and split between properties on the day. 👍🐴

I felt pretty stoked recently to be working on this incredible stallion, Derrynasagurt Silver (Class 1 Irish Draught, imported from Ireland). A beautiful horse and so well behaved, I enjoy meeting all sorts of horses but this one was a real thrill. Thanks Tracy Crossan!

I’m very happy to say that I have recently attained MANZCVSc qualification in equine dentistry - a post-graduate qualification which reflects a high level of knowledge and competence in the area studied. It’s been great for pushing me to extend my knowledge of the horse’s mouth and head and how they interact with the whole system. I’m looking forward to putting all this into practice in the coming months - keep those tricky cases coming!

17/06/2021

I’m booking dentals in at the Oamaru Racecourse for Saturday 10th and Saturday 17th July - please let me know if you would like to book anything in. Fees are the same as before for these group bookings - $120/pony and $140/horse, allowing for 45 mins to sedate, examine the mouth with a mirror and torch, and then do corrective rasping as needed. Look forward to seeing some more horses! (Photos below are from a workshop I did a few years ago - so no one local! Just showing how important an oral exam is!)

Have been really enjoying doing a few dental days in the last few weeks, I just love meeting the horses and ponies, big or small! Even the tricky ones are a great learning opportunity and I haven’t had one I couldn’t manage yet! I’m planning on doing another day at the racecourse in June, will put a post out once have a day sorted.

20/05/2021

I have a space tomorrow morning for two dentals at the Oamaru racecourse 9-10.30am, due to a cancellation- can anyone jump in?

17/04/2021

Thanks everyone for a great day at the racecourse today, I had a lot of fun seeing all the different horses and ponies and all of them behaved so beautifully! Great people too, thanks Tania Brownlie for the great pics 🙂

28/03/2021

Hi everyone, I am looking at doing a dental day in May (following my 17 April one), on Saturday 22nd at the oamaru racecourse- let me know if you would like to book. Flat rate for group of at least 6, of $120/pony and $140/horse. Merlyn Hay, Wendy Crawford, lou tait?

06/03/2021

Had a fantastic day doing a group of dentals today - great people and great horses! Huge thanks to Archie and Lorraine Ward-Smith for hosting. Funniest moment - Tania thinking my latex gloved hand was her horse’s tongue 😜 Most exciting moment - injecting young Hugo who apparently likes to take a wee bite at times (but was actually a dream to inject phew!) 🙂 Biggest thrill - getting to work on dressage superstar Fernlea Diamond Day 😍Looking forward to the next ones in April

27/01/2021

Just confirming dental days for Oamaru - I have Lorraine Ward-Smith and Rebecca Kate and maybe Tania Brownlie for 6th March; can anyone confirm for Saturday 17th April? (Teresa Millar, Liz Hamilton, Leanne Johnston?)

25/01/2021

I’m interested in doing some dental days in the next few months, where people bring their horses/ponies to one location and I can offer a discounted flat rate of $140/horse or $120/pony including drugs and mileage. I need at least 6 horses/ponies and up to 9 to do this, please pm if you would like to arrange this 🙂 Have done this at the Oamaru race course before and it worked great. Also happy to travel to Palmerston, Ranfurly, Waikouaiti or thereabouts.
