Sad day…. Saying goodbye to an old friend who has been in my rear vision mirror for over 13 years and kept well over 18,000 horses secure and me safe. She’s gone to a good home at Oldbury Equine Clinic where I can visit her occasionally. 😢

Someone needs to buy a Lotto ticket for tomorrow night. Glad to get this one out in two pieces. That rotting grass at the end of the needle is in the root of the (dead) tooth - an abscess/fracture waiting to happen. Should now heal in a couple of weeks - ready for the state champs.

Team Work !!! From an amazingly detailed CT report which allowed good planning, an experienced nursing team (Gemma Murphy et al ) to look after the patient and support the super surgeon Michaela Harcourt …. What looked like a disaster was sorted efficiently and patient is on his way home. These are not easy cases but with a great team almost anything is possible. Thanks as always Equine Services at The Animal Hospital, Murdoch University !

Finally ….after many weeks ( months ) in the making, the new crush is finally done and home in the stable ! Thanks to Bevan at B&R Contracting for creating this masterpiece from the ground up, trying to keep a fussy dental vet happy with hundreds of alterations and requests for the impossible. Still a few ‘tweaks” to be made but tomorrow is her first day on the job. This is my third and ( hopefully last 🙏) crush - we have put everything I have learned over the years into this one.
Almost too good to get dirty 🫣

Trying to achieve in one weekend something that took evolution
millions of years - 😫
Yes they get cadaver heads and live horses but trying to be clean, efficient and sustainable in veterinary dentistry training. Now to work out how to “hide” pathology for them to find!

One night to go (and it promises to be a big one). So incredibly proud of what the Equine Veterinarians Australia has put together at this year. To have been allowed the privilege of leading this great organisation of exceptional human beings has been an immense honour and I count myself very lucky. To meet and share ideas with the presidents of similar organisations from South Africa (Sean Miller) America (Katie Garret) and Britain Roger Smith was a highlight but the true joy for me comes from seeing young faces of inspired equine veterinarians as they lap up the education, the social programs and the friendship. Happy to hand over the reins to Dr Laura Hardefelt tonight and take more of a back seat. Thank you to all my wonderful clients who have given me to ability to juggle the many meetings and trips but mostly to my wife Louisa for putting up with it all and keeping the home fires burning (and dogs walked) while I get to have fun with my people. 🎤🫳

So happy - first lecture of the contains a lot of dentistry despite being all about the pregnant mare and compromised foal. Dr Peter Morresey from Kentucky reinforces our knowledge that a healthy mouth is vital for a healthy mare which in turn is vital for a healthy foal.

Away for the next week at Equine Veterinarians Australia’s Bain Fallon conference in the Hunter Valley. Almost 250 equine vets with 5 international speakers and lots of social things thrown in to the mix. Please be patient as it will take a bit longer to respond to messages and email.

Playing with moulded teeth in my plastic skull to find new, sustainable ways to teach dentistry skills to veterinary students. Yes they get to work with real skulls and live horses in the final years but this will allow us to do more “with less”. Thanks Equine Services at The Animal Hospital, Murdoch University for supporting the push for better outcomes!

And the week ends with another “bum in the mud” midget encounter. Starting to get a bit worried that the hay shortage is translating to smaller horses ??? Have a great weekend!

What a team!!!!

An inauspicious start to the week …

If you can, please contact Murdoch Animal Blood Bank at The Animal Hospital At Murdoch University and make a blood donation. Dogs need to be over a year old, healthy, sensible and there are weight limits but it’s easy and they get so well looked after. Such a good thing to be able to help 🥰

Some days are just better than others (if you’re a working dog like Floyd and Floss)

Always take your phone back off the client you’ve asked to take photos of something in the mouth while you hold the tongue out of the way. Otherwise behind your back …….🙄🤣

- have you switched to a new hay recently? Here is some information about hay types, and some important things to be aware of with each ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Teff Hay
➡️Teff is a warm season grass species that can be fed as hay for horses.
⚠️The starch and sugar analysis of Teff can vary, so while it can be considered low in sugar and starch, it isn't always below a safe level for laminitis/metabolic condition prone horses and ponies.
⚠️Teff (being a C4 species) does contain moderate to high levels of oxalates, so you will need to supplement to reduce the risk of bighead disease.
⚠️ Teff has caused some behavioural changes in horses, linked to alkalosis (showing a high pH result in manure).
Barley Hay
Barley hay or straw can be fed to horses but should be an awn-less variety. The 'awns' are the stiff bristles that can grow on the barley head. It does have a similar nutrient profile to Oaten Hay, with NSC often over 16%.
⚠️Both the hay and straw are not suitable for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic conditions.
⚠️Being a cereal it can provide more energy, so be aware of re-balancing energy levels if you notice behavioural changes in your horse or pony.
⚠️ Watch out for hay that has seed heads that still contain the grain.
Oaten or Wheaten Hay
Oaten and wheaten hay are cereal hays, and a good source of fibre but both the hay and straws are quite high in NSC.
⚠️ WA's Oaten hay consistently tests between 30-38% but has been recorded as high as 42.63% in Southwest WA.
⚠️ Wheaten has an NSC of around 28.8%
⚠️ They are not suitable for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic conditions
⚠️ If feeding Oaten, make sure you balance your horse's concentrates, so they are not getting too much energy
Rhodes Grass
Rhodes grass is a good quality, low sugar and starch hay, that is low enough in oxalates not to pose a bighead risk. It is more consistent and reliable than teff when it comes to the sugar and starch levels.
⚠️ Rhodes can be high in calcium, iron and potassium, but low in phosphorus and magnesium, so make sure you re-balance your horse's diet in case they need supplementation.
⚠️ If some horses and ponies don't like eating the Rhodes hay, you can spray it with a stevia solution to it to make it more palatable.
Straw
Straw can be used to replace a portion of the hay in your horse’s diet to help extend hay supply. You can use straw for up to 20% of their daily fibre/forage intake.
⚠️Straw is not laminitis friendly. The average straw NSC is over 17%, as most straws come from cereal crops.
⚠️Make sure straw has been ARGT tested.
⚠️Straw must not be fed to foals, weanlings or yearlings as their digestive system is not mature enough to digest it properly.
⚠️If you need to feed higher than 20% straw, consult with your vet first to make sure that your horse is a candidate for this level of straw.
If you are unsure about changing hays and what your horse needs, feel free to reach out to our nutrition team or contact an equine nutritionist to rebalance your horse's diet.
Thanks to your steed equine nutrition for providing this great information.

When a colleague sends you a screen shot of a radiograph to diagnose where the problem is and leaves themselves open……. 😆 Avon Ridge Equine Veterinary Services - great radiographs 🙌🏻

There are not many people I would get out of my sick bed and come sit in the rain and mud to do mini donkeys ! Tracey Thornton from our good friends at Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals conned me with banana bread and home made sausage rolls….. well done 👏👏 #equinedentalvets #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #equinevet #equineveterinarian #equinedentistry #equinevetsaustralia #countryhospitality #wheatbelt
Here's a cool heart murmur I recorded today for your Friday evening listening pleasure. The sound and "video" don't match up exactly as I had to cut the sound from the video to enhance it so that it can be heard better. A normal heart should be "lub-dub" with none of the long "whirring" afterwards. This is turbulence of blood due to leaky heart valves. Horse is clinically fine and has had this murmur for years. Enjoy! #equine #equinedentist #heartsounds #heartmurmur
This little fella had facial swelling and discharge (see photo in comments) On exam we found a fairly obvious tract where the infection (from a suspected tooth root abscess) was also draining into the mouth. Because it is the 108 ( 4th premolar) the roots don’t sit in the sinus and are thankfully not causing a sinusitis. X-rays next week and extraction the likely outcome. #betteroutthanin #equinedentistry #equinevetsaustralia #equinedentalvets #equinevet #equineveterinarian #smallbusiness
Preparing for a workshop in Queensland next week, I was reminded how much the field of dentistry has grown in the past 15 years. On the right is the first textbook I bought on the equine mouth - VERY comprehensive at the time. Compare it to the new edition on the left …. #equinevetsaustralia #equinevet #equinedentistry #equineveterinarian #equinedentalvets #neverstoplearning #equinevetaus #dentalvets
Given that I listen to over 1500 hearts a year, I have recently upgraded (with a little push from Equiimed ) to a digital stethoscope with ECG capability which will allow me to record and share (if needed) any abnormal heart sounds that MAY indicate a problem. While a lot of horses have “normal” abnormal heart sounds and rhythms, only some are indicative of a serious problem and with this technology we will hopefully be able to determine which ones need further assessment (cardiac ultrasound). Recordings won’t be made for every horse - it’s one of those 🤞🏼 I don’t go to the Ute and get this out situations 😉 Ps this is a recording of a clapped out old veterinary gelding who is getting grumpy with the heat and would prefer to still be on holidays 😉 #hewhodieswiththemosttoyswins #equinevetsaustralia #equineveterinarian #equinedentalvets #equinevet #dentalvets #equinedentistry #equinevetaus #neversroplearning
2023…… the year that keeps on giving ! Thanks Ian for a good chuckle to end the working year ! 😂
This horse had all of his incisors ( and a canine ) removed because of EOTRH yesterday ! This is a few hours post op - how frigging good is this ? These animals will never cease to amaze me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
While we wait for my horses to finish running in the Cup 🙄……. here’s a short montage of our day at Equine Services at The Animal Hospital, Murdoch University With nurse imiicalverley at the helm and with my wing(wo)man Sarah McLay we did a lot of good work today. #betteroutthanin #dentalvets #happydays #equinevet #equinedentalvets #equinevetsaustralia #equinedentistry #equineveterinarian #equinevetaus
You win some, you loose……… nah, we won today ! Very very fortunate to be able to get this tooth out despite just a sliver of clinical crown left ( without having to resort to more advanced surgical techniques. ) Came out in pieces but came out orally which is a win in my book any day. Super nurse Gemma Murphy on deck today with a couple of streaming final year students to keep me entertained 😂 More surgical pics tomorrow ! #equinevet #equinedentistry #equinevetsaustralia #dentalvets #equinedentalvets #equineveterinarian #happydays #equinevetaus #betteroutthanin #hewhodieswiththemosttoyswins #betterthanlotto
In the annual “build the gag after it’s been dismantled” race, it was a close run thing with final year equine student Richard narrowly winning what can only be described as “you made it looked a lot harder than it is” 😂 Sped up to save you time this evening 😜
Another cohort of final year equine streaming students filled with as much dentistry knowledge as we could cram in. Very proud of this group - they did so well and I’m so very happy that they will be the next equine veterinarians taking over - you’re in good hands ! Sarah McLay - superstar tutor 🙌
Some pretty spectacular caries (decay) found in a recent trip east 😔 Let’s hope a diet change can improve this old man’s teeth before he runs out of reserve crown. #equinevetaus #equinedentalvets
Too tired after a loooong day in Bonnie Rock to make a good video so I let iMovie do it for me. Wonderful day spent with Dr Guy from Equiimed scoping, scanning, radiographing and even trotting up a lame horse (plus a couple of teeth were treated too !) There was a bit it “who has the most toys” competition 😂 Will sleep well tonight - a less hectic day tomorrow before heading back to the ‘burbs. #equinedentistry #equineveterinarian #equinedentalvets #equinevetaus #dentalvets #equinevetsaustralia #hewhodieswiththemosttoyswins
Nasty diastema ( gap ) between the last and second last teeth in this middle aged hose. Lots of feed trapping deep below the gum line causing painful periodontal disease. These issues are often bilateral ( both sides ) and at the end of the video is the space where we removed the tooth ( 410 ) last visit a couple of months ago. The gum as healed beautifully and is no longer infected and painful. I have no doubt this will be a happier pony in a few days time. #dentalvets #equinevetsaustralia #equinedentalvets #equinevet #equinevetaus #equinedentistry #hewhodieswiththemosttoyswins #betteroutthanin
Ouch ! Some cheek ulcers caused by sharp enamel points. Luckily these will heal rapidly now that the points have been reduced. #equinedentistry #equinevetaus #equinevet #dentalvets #equinevetsaustralia #equineveterinarian #equinedentalvets
This is what a socket ( alveolus ) looks like about 3 and a half weeks after extraction of a tooth from a young horse ( see the tooth in the comments section - FB won’t let me post videos and photos together. ) In another week or two the gum will have grown over and the horse will be pain free. In this case the tooth was deviated towards the tongue, creating deep periodontal pockets on either side of the tooth - we don’t like taking young teeth out but sometimes its the best thing for the horse.
Thermal imaging of a horse during work - another useful aid to finding subtle and sometimes difficult to find soreness in equine athletes. #bainfallon2023
