Long Ear Alert!

As we continue February Dental Health Month here at Tryon Equine Hospital, a reminder that annual comprehensive dental exams and floats are recommended for donkeys, mules, and minis! Often forgotten when it comes to routine wellness, our long ear friends are susceptible to the same dental pathology as our horse companions.

Dr. Katie Marsh spent the morning with a herd of mini mules at Red Bell Run for their annual dental exam and float.

Is your donkey, mule, or mini up to date? If not, call the office at 828-894-6065 and schedule today!

Attention FEI horse owners, trainers and riders! FEI has recently transitioned to electronic Flu/Rhino records via the FEI HorseApp. Although this does not change the 6 month Flu/Rhino booster requirement, it does change how we record it. All future Flu Rhino vaccines must be entered into this app to maintain compliance within all FEI competitions. The passport must be available to your veterinarian at the time of the vaccine. We will be unable to stamp passports at a later date. To ensure this transition is smooth please make sure you download the FEI HorseApp and come prepared with your FEI passport during your appointment!

You gotta be quidding me!

Have you ever seen these clumps around the pasture or in the stall? These are call quids! The term defined as “a lump of something chewable”, the presence of these unchewed hay or grass clumps indicates potential dental problems for your horse. Most often seen in middle aged to older horses, the common dental causes for this can include alignment/occlusal abnormalities, fractured or missing molars and sharp enamel points. Horses that quid are at a higher risk for secondary complications such an esophageal obstruction or “choke” due abnormal or incomplete chewing.

Does your horse quid? If so, call Tryon Equine Hospital at 828-894-6065 and schedule a comprehensive dental exam today!

Answer!

Devitalized or dead incisors and mild EOTRH.

You might have noticed the big color difference between the upper incisors (101,102, and 201)! Color change in teeth often signals that the nerve or blood supply to those teeth are compromised or lost. Based on the grey color change of the incisors, moderate gingival recession and inflammation and failure of the carrot test, radiographs were obtained to further investigate the root structure of these teeth.

The radiographs of the upper incisors revealed moderate blunting of the roots and widening of the periodontal ligament (soft tissue structure that helps attach and stabilize the tooth to the alveolar bone in the jaw) and alveolar sclerosis (increased density of the jawbone surrounding the tooth). Based on the clinical findings and radiographic changes of these teeth, removal was recommended.
Dr. Alec Davern performed the extraction under standing sedation and local anesthetic blocks. Horse returned home the next day and is on the road to a pain free mouth!

What's your diagnosis?
A 23 year old gelding was seen for his spring wellness and comprehensive dental exam. Owner reported no observed issues when eating or drinking, but some sensitivity when using certain bits. Upon initial oral exam, this was noted - what's your diagnosis? Would this horse pass the carrot test?

02/06/2025

🥕Carrot test! Not only the treat of choice for many but did you know we can use carrots to help evaluate incisor pain in horses? A normal horse should be able to bite easily and comfortably through a carrot when offered. Horses that have underlying incisor pain or pathology will avoid biting the carrot or exhibit painful, tentative bites on the carrot. This is often used as a screening test that helps us, as veterinarians, evaluate for Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis (EOTRH). EOTRH is a painful, progressive disease of the incisors that affects many horses as they age.

Does your horse pass the carrot test? If not, call Tryon Equine Hospital for a comprehensive dental exam and/or diagnostics to get your horse pain free!
