EOTRH, Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis is a painful syndrome that primarily affects the incisors and canine teeth.

This condition has an increased prevalence in older horses (15+ years), Arabian horses, horses with excessive dentistry (incisor reductions), dental disease, not grazing, endocrine diseases, and external and behavioral vices.

The roots of the teeth begin to resorb (dissolve), and the body tries to stabilize the teeth by laying down more cementum. The cause is unknown, and currently the best and only treatment option to surgically remove the teeth.

Clinical signs can include inappetence, salivation/foaming, rinsing of mouth constantly, and reluctance to accept treats. X-rays are necessary for definitive diagnosis for this condition.

Attached are some examples of how EOTRH can present in appearance and radiographically.

PAH Patient Spotlight: Meet Clark!
Clark was unfortunately the victim of a dog attack, which we see all too commonly among goats, sheep, miniature horses and pigs.
After Clark was attacked, our PAH team jumped into action to save his life. Initially, he was treated for shock and severe bite wounds across his body, specifically his left hind leg. It was determined after extreme care, from both his veterinary staff and his owners that his leg was too compromised to be saved. His owner wanted to give Clark a fighting chance and the decision was made to put Clark through surgery to remove his leg.
Although common place in dogs and cats, ruminants pose a high-risk during surgery, and amputations themselves are not commonplace. Clark showed a true will to live and had become a favorite patient among staff members. Our team of dedicated Doctors and Veterinary Technicians were successfully able amputate his leg during surgery. We are happy to report that Clark is doing well and even able to chase his younger sister around the yard!

Knowing your horse's normal vital signs is VITAL —pun intended!— to detecting distress and a possible emergency! 🩺

Practice taking your horse's vitals often (T.P.R.: temperature, pulse, respiration rate) so you can get to know what's normal for your equine friends and recognize what is abnormal. If your horse seems a little "off" and his values are outside the normal range, a call to your equine veterinarian is definitely warranted!

The typical ranges for adult horses are as follows:
🌡️Temperature: 99.0-101.5°F
❤️Heart rate: 28-40 beats/minute
🫁Respiration rate: 12-16 breaths/minute

Keep in mid that very hot and humid conditions may cause small variations, so be sure to have a conversation with your horse doctor about what is acceptable and about how to properly assess your horse's vital signs.

Thank you to the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information!
