EQUINE EXAMS & DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING Horses with oral issues may exhibit overt symptoms like discomfort or irritation, or they may not exhibit any symptoms at all. This is due to the fact that some horses just get used to their suffering. For this reason, regular dental checkups are crucial for the wellbeing of your horse. Early detection of dental issues is crucial. Dental issues should be thought of as a potential cause if a horse begins acting strangely.
EQUINE ORAL SURGERY Our routine, non-surgical equine services are conveniently provided on-site at the barn or location where your horse is situated. This ensures minimal disruption to your horse’s daily routine and reduces the stress associated with transportation. Our procedures are performed with the utmost care and attention to your horse’s health and comfort. For advanced surgical procedures, we collaborate closely with the horse owner and their general veterinarian to select the most suitable surgical facility. This ensures that the necessary anesthesia and perioperative care are available to support your horse through their surgical treatment. Currently, we perform the majority of horse surgeries with High Country Veterinary Services in Steamboat Springs.
EQUINE DENTAL FLOATING Floating the teeth entails treating any dental issues such as sharp edges and creating a “bit seat.” Sharp edges can cause a variety of issues for your horse, including mouth ulcers, which can be extremely painful and result in weight loss owing to poor eating habits. Prevention is essential! We recommend that your horse have an annual exam with or without a float at Companion Dentistry and Oral Surgery. These services can be provided either in a hospital or on your farm. To schedule an appointment, call (970) 331-0453.
