[RC] Wolf teeth, tusks in 9 yr old geld. - Laurie Durgin
Now I know why Rascal's been chomping and starting to moving his head all
over the place. Never being one to let you open his mouth (the vet at the
clinic said to work on him letting them check his Cap. refill).I did a check
yesterday, (can finally get him to tolerate opening his mouth to see more
than 2 seconds.) I noticed the bit (waterford) was bumping these small
pointy teeth about 1/2 inch tall on top ;andthe bottom ones are about an
1-1.5 inches below them. So anywhere the bit tries to "set" it is probably
bumping these teeth. Duh. I know what wolf teeth are.
Funny I had the vet check and float him a year or so ago(vet said he
really didn't need it). and had never had a problem before. I wonder if they
could have "comein late".
So you think these would be a problem to remove , considering his age(read
something in archives about that)?Or could they just be filed down and is
this an expensive prochedure?My vet of course , stopped practicing and I
have to get another now. darn.
Obviously I have a bit problem now till I get it fixed. (My husband said
he'd kill me if I get a horse dentist, when we all could use more work
:0)(some people have teeth and the rest have fillings :0{} Laurie and
Rascal the "wolf tooth" eh, "teeth".
