Happy Veterinary Technician week! I want to thank Erin and Lilly for the quality work they do. They are an essential part of the team helping to keep me organize, keeping me driving in mostly the right direction and most importantly helping provide our patients and clients with safe dental and chiropractic procedures. I couldn’t do it without them!

It’s that time of year! Sometimes we hear of the ultimate stab rabbit otherwise known as the porcupine attack.
Who attacked who is always the question! The horse or dog never seems to come out winning.

When this happens near the mouth be sure to get a dental exam! Sometimes little fistulas will form under the lip from missed quills. Other times quills will be deeper in the mouth than expected. Removal gives immediate relief.

Book an appointment this fall just call or text 207-745-3187

Part 2! Take a close look at this horse’s face and you can see how asymmetrical it is. This 14 yr old QH presents with the left nostril higher and a larger left TMJ. His mandible is also shifted away from the right side.
With a sedated oral examination, a fractured tooth is seen. Tooth 108 has a fracture. The outside (lateral) aspect of the tooth is fractured on the clinical crown and the fragment is causing a wound or laceration on the horse’s cheek. The fragment was removed and xrays were taken to determine if the tooth should be extracted further. The arrows in the xrays show that the tooth does have changes of the distal root blunting with a widening periodontal ligament. An extraction is recommended but for now we hope removing the fragment will help give some comfort.

Why are dental exams more than just floating teeth?

The first part to a thorough dental examination is a compete evaluation of the horse. This includes an evaluation prior to even touching the animal. The first part of the examination is looking and providing a thorough evaluation. First, we look at the body condition and take vitals to determine the status of the horse’s health prior to sedation. Here is a photo of a horse that was seen this past week. This photo shows what we might expect during this examination. This is a new horse to the owner. Clinical symptoms have been quidding and snappy in the stall. The horse is mid-teens. What do you see?

Dr. Glaude had a fantastic time at the Veterinary Dental Forum in Palm Springs California learning some new innovative techniques and research in Equine Veterinary Dentistry! She also met with Dr. Kristen Clapp of Upper Valley Equine Services LLC from Chester, Vermont and many other dental specialists to discuss the world of equine dentistry.

While she was in Palm Springs she took some time to explore and do some short hikes in the wicked hot dry 100+ F environment of the Joshua Tree National Park! Definitely a place to return and hike, but with much cooler temperatures!

As she didn’t melt, she will be returning to Maine and is booking fall appointments. There are a few spots available in October still as she moves on into booking November. Call or text 207-745-3187 for availability.
