Dr. Hunt had the pleasure of attending and presenting a lecture at the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) this past weekend. A large number of AABP vets see species outside of cattle. AABP put together a mixed-animal CE section, covering a wide range of topics - equine dentistry being one of them.

Struggle Bus definition: "having difficulty with something or facing difficulties or challenges". This might describe the MVDS team at the present moment as our much-loved Kayla (small animal CSR) decided to spread her wings and fly off to a new job elsewhere. Many of you have been greeted by, or spoken with, Kayla when you brought your pet to the clinic. You might also have caught her on stage near & far performing her Taylor Swift cover show - or maybe you have had the privilege of listening/seeing some of her official music videos! When she wasn't working or performing, Kayla enjoyed wandering in the woods, pet sitting and attending as many fundraisers, or exhibitions, for working dogs as is possible! We can't say enough great things about her and what she brought to our lives. We are better because she was here! We would like to wish Kayla all the best as she moves on to her next chapter! Thanking her for the support she provided to her co-workers and thanking her especially for supporting all the pet parents who entrusted us with the dental care for their precious 4-legged family members. Rock on Kayla! As for us, we hope to find someone just like her to fill this role, until then, be kind to us - we will get off the struggle bus as soon as possible.

Periodontal (gum) disease in horses is one of the most common things that we treat as dental specialists. Horses get gum disease for a variety of reasons, but the most common presentation is the formation of diastemata (spaces) in between their cheek teeth which allows feed trapping to occur. The cheek teeth in horses should be packed very tightly together--no flossing needed here! But when they develop spaces where feed can become entrapped, a cycle of gum irritation followed by gum recession and then bone recession can occur. Just like in humans, gum disease is quite painful.

This case highlights a few of the ways that we manage these spaces. This horse has been a patient of ours for about three years. She has 4-5 spaces that require ongoing management to maintain optimal oral comfort. The pictures depict the examination and treatments applied to this area. Read the captions for more information!

Updated to add: see photo in comments to look back at our first exam from three years ago. You will see how remarkably painful her mouth was then compared to today's pictures!
