DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTION AT YOUR BARN?

While parasite control and immunization with vaccines remain key pieces of any infection control plan, horse owners need to remember the importance of reducing or preventing exposure of the horse to infection causing agents in the first place.

This will surely require more work than simply scheduling a vaccination appointment for your horse, but if you’re thinking, “Is this REALLY necessary?” — the answer is yes. Any effort you put in to preventing infection vastly outweighs the cost of treating and possibly hospitalizing a sick horse!

As always, your veterinarian remains your best source of information and advice!

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!
