Did you know that all horses need an oral exam each year and most all need a dental float annually?
Here are a few common dental health issues we see in horses of various ages that need to be addressed to keep your horse happy and healthy (see photos for descriptions):

✅ Sharp Points
✅ Hooks and Ramps
✅ Retained caps/“baby teeth”
✅ Loose or fractured teeth

To help make regular dental care more affordable, our half-price December Dental program provides your horse’s oral exam and power float at 50% off when there are 2 or more horses at one appointment (including ranch calls) or one or more if you haul in to one of our clinics.

These appointments are already filling up very quickly and booking out into 2025, so call or email today for your appointment time!

Meet Carter, a 23 year old Thoroughbred gelding, who was seen by Dr Diana Stolba on November 6th for multiple draining abscesses and acute weight loss. On that first exam, for these issues, Dr Stolba took both a culture of the abscesses and blood for testing. The results of these tests came back positive for Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (Pigeon Fever). His bloodwork also showed evidence of a severe chronic infection and elevated liver enzymes.
He was admitted to the hospital under the watchful eye of Dr Emma Deane. The abscesses on his body were lanced, drained and flushed and he was treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. There was a deep abscess on his right front antebrachium and left hind inner stifle that were opened later and flushed. He suffered advances and setbacks during his stay with us.
In the end, he stayed with us at the clinic until just before thanksgiving when he made marked improvement and was able to go home! His owner admits she thought she was going to lose him but we’re so thankful we could help him get through this❤️
Dr Stolba just visited him this week and was happy to report that his weight has improved by 50 lbs, bloodwork performed showed he is no longer showing any signs of infection, and his various values were all within normal limits!

🎉Go Carter Go🎉

We have a WOW Wednesday case to share with you today!

Sometimes dental floats go beyond the routine cases and we have to find a way to still get the job done!
This handsome guy, Gunther, sustained an injury to his lower jaw many years ago but his wonderful owner hasn’t let that deter her from giving him a great life. She has been diligent to keep up on his routine healthcare and dental care which has allowed him to still be doing quite well at 21 years old❤️

Gunther is missing the rostral 1/3 of his mandible due to that old injury and more recent bone resorption/atrophy. All horses should have an annual dental exam and most also need an annual float; However, horses with misalignment of the jaw/teeth, ones who are missing teeth, and many other common dental issues may need to be seen more than once a year to keep their mouth/teeth in good function.
To perform Gunther’s dental Dr. De La Cruz uses a cow/bovine cheek speculum that helps him to open the mouth without needing to touch the incisors (front teeth) since Gunther has no lower incisors.

If your horse is in need of a dental, now is a great time to schedule because we are providing 50% Equine Dentals (including exam, float, and sedation) when there are 2 or more horses at one appointment on ranch calls, or 1 or more horses if you haul in to one of our clinics! Contact us by December 31st to schedule but appointments are already booking out into the new year!

Is your horse ready for this stormy weather?

☔️Quick changes and extended periods of wet or cold weather can cause our horses to not drink as well or move around as much which can increase their chance of colic.
❤️Here are a few quick tips to help your horse weather the storm:
✅Provide shelter so they can stay dry (though we know some horses will still often choose to get soaked standing in the rain!😅)
✅ Provide water in or near the shelter so your horse won’t have to choose between drinking and staying comfortable.
✅Monitor water intake to be sure your horse is drinking enough.
✅If you blanket your horse, please check under their blanket often to be sure the blanket is keeping them dry but not causing them to sweat.

If you have any concerns about how your horse is weathering these storms, please always feel free to contact us… we’re here for you and your horse(s) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week❤️

What’s the best way to treat equine ulcers?

During our Ulcer Awareness Month we’ve discussed signs/symptoms, diagnosis, and now we want to talk about treatment.

The gold standard for treatment of ulcers is omeprazole (GastroGard). Sucralfate may also be part of the treatment plan as it coats the ulcers, provides symptomatic relief, and can aid ulcer healing along with omeprazole.
Providing pasture or small meals and including some alfalfa can be very beneficial as well as limiting or eliminating grain when your horse is suffering from ulcers.

If you are concerned that your horse may be suffering from ulcers, the only way to accurately diagnose equine ulcers is through gastroscopy. To help raise awareness about gastric ulcers, now through October 31st we are providing gastroscopy of the stomach at 50% off but space is limited so contact us today!

🐎⁉️ Did you know that your horse’s stomach is producing acid 24 hours a day?
Unlike your stomach that only produces acid right when you eat or drink to help aid digestion, your horse was built to graze 23 hours a day. This is why even horses that live a relatively low-stress life can still have ulcers.
Some signs of equine ulcers might include:
☑️Recurrent mild colic
☑️Reactiveness to being saddled/having the girth tightened
☑️Ear Pinning/Poor attitude
☑️Weight loss
☑️Less interest in grain

If you are concerned that your horse may be suffering from ulcers, the only way to accurately diagnose equine ulcers is through gastroscopy.
To help raise awareness about gastric ulcers, we are providing gastroscopy of the stomach at 50% off through Oct 31st but space in this program is limited so contact us today!
*Appointment may take place after 10/31

This month is Stomach Ulcer Awareness month and we kicked it off with an amazing session with Hoyt S. Cheramie, DVM, MS, DACVS.
Dr. Cheramie is considered one of the foremost experts and teachers when it comes to equine ulcers and gastroscopy. Our group of clinics performs hundreds of gastroscopies every year so it is important to us to be sure we are always at the forefront of this important equine health topic and diagnostic medium.
This month we will discuss symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of equine ulcers so be sure to follow our page and posts. If you’re concerned that your horse might be showing signs of ulcers this is the perfect time to have them scoped as we’re providing 50% off gastroscopy during the month of October.
