RE: RE: Teeth:
Last time my horse was worked on he required three doses of tranqs
by the vet. It depends on the horse and the type of work needed.
My friends Morgan doesn't need tranqs at all! And my guy is usually
a pretty good guy about things - just not detnal work! Illegal to
give the type of tranqs used unless you're a vet.

Doesn't anyone give tranquilizers themselves? It would be difficult to get
a vet to come out here to just give a tranquilizer. Sometimes owners will
call the vet to get one to give a particularly difficult horse (ie., the
mustang mare who had rarely been handled or the yearling Belgians who had
NEVER been trimmed). Anyway, our dentist is wonderful and does not need to
use tranquilizers. Guess I'll count our blessings on that!
