My horse vet friend has been promising to come check out Hanks teeth for almost a year now. I do her small animal stuff and she is kind enough to come look at things here that I can't figure out or don't have the equipment for. I do not have the necessary equipment for teeth floating so that is all her.
With a little sedation Hank was the perfect patient. He is 22+ years old and Dr. C said there wasn't much she could do with the teeth he had left. She filed some of the points off so maybe he will be able to eat his grain a little better now. J was an excellent assistant, keeping Hank's head held up.

I was a racetrack groom/owner for a lot of years &, though there were some horses that really needed it, for the most part I never cared for the heavy sedation, head hangers, & electric tools floating.
My vet here still hand floats - I see Dr C doing the same there - sometimes the simplest way is the still best way.
Abscesses are horrible, the horse is so sore and it is a waiting game. I always feel helpless even when I poultice them, just hate seeing them so sore.
Poor Draper. I hope the poultice helps.
