Wolf Teeth
Wolf teeth are small peg-like teeth that sit just in front of the first cheek teeth of horses.
Worming and Pasture Management
Why do we need to worm?
Worms in excessive numbers cause many gastrointestinal problems in horses, ponies and donkeys. A combination of pasture management, worm egg counts (WECs) and targeted worming will ensure that these worm burdens are kept to a healthy level and minimise the risk of disease.
X-rays (Radiographs)
Radiographs - x-rays are taken by the veterinary surgeon to assist in diagnosing conditions relating to both the skeleton and soft tissue of the horse.
