24.01.2022 So I just wanted to share this on this page, for those of you who are interested in animal welfare, particularly equine animal welfare. This was a research project I was part of that has just been accepted for publication in a peer reviewed journal. We looked at the thickness of equine skin on the rump and compared these ares to similar areas of a human. I really feel that this is going to be a landmark paper for animal welfare, particularly for the use of the whip in horse racing. Controversial I know, but just because it has always been done that way doesn't justify it's continued use. A huge congratulations to the group of passionate researchers, pathologists and veterinarians involved

07.01.2022 Sometimes a photograph just doesn’t show the full story. This handsome young TB was referred by the lovely Dr Deb Rogers from Town & Country Vet Care after a diagnosis of a fractured tooth this week. What you can’t easily see from photographs is just how swollen his cheek is, and have thick the mandible is that contains the dead and infected tooth. In dental practice there really aren’t all that many cases that have to be seen urgently, however this fellow had a rapidly enla...rging cheek (masseter muscle) that was very painful to the touch, and he was dropping weight quickly. These radiographs show a large abscess on the apical or ‘root’ end of the tooth, and the black speckly area is the pus and the gas that is produced by the bacteria. Pus is extremely destructive, and when it forms in one area it does a great job of finding the path of least resistance, and if left untreated would have eventually burst out the bottom of the jaw. A cheek tooth in a young horse (4yo) is extremely long, and often these can be difficult to extract due to the limited amount of room in the mouth. Thankfully we were able to move the bottom jaw over a little using a special mouth gag, and use an archaic instrument called a ‘tooth turner’ to gently turn the tooth towards the centre of the mouth where there was a little more room for it to come out of the alveolus (socket). This guy is on some pretty heavy duty antibiotics to help clear up that abscess and bone infection and with any luck he will be feeling better in no time at all!
