Check out our step-by-step guide to applying a lower leg bandage.

There is no doubt that horses by nature are prone to injury. A UK study on traumatic injury in the general horse population reported that 40% of horses surveyed had sustained at least one injury within the previous 12 months. The lower limb was affected in nearly 50% of these cases!

As a horse owner it is important to learn how to apply a bandage correctly to the lower limb - it is highly likely that your bandaging skills will be called upon at some stage when owning a horse!

Reference: Owen et al, Identification of risk factors for traumatic injury in the general horse population of north-west England, Midlands and north Wales. Equine Veterinary Journal, 2011.

Dr Tom Hamilton from Perth Horse Dentistry & Vete

Dr Tom Hamilton from Perth Horse Dentistry & Veterinary Services performed a tooth extraction with a difference at Ascot Equine this week.

This case became a bit more complicated when one of the tooth roots broke off when extracting the diseased molar a few weeks ago. The rogue root was at an abnormal angle and couldn’t be retrieved orally at the initial extraction. To try to avoid having to surgically remove the root it was then left to decay for a few weeks.

Fortunately, Dr Tom successfully removed the root orally, together with a very impressive cup of intact decayed bone called an alveolar sequestrum, on Monday. There is no doubt that this lovely patient will feel a whole lot better now that has been removed!

Great work Dr Tom! 👏 @perth_horse_dentistry

🩺 HORSE HEALTH TIPS 🩺

🔹Checking your horse’s mucous membranes🔹

Horses gums (also known as gingival mucous membranes) provide us with an important insight into their general health, including circulation and hydration status. It is useful for you to know what your horse’s gums normally look like so that any deviation from normal can be noted. It is normal for some horses, especially paint breeds, to have dark pigmentation of their gums.

The gingival mucous membranes are best examined by lifting your horse’s top lip and observing the gums above the top row of incisors(teeth). They should appear light to medium pink. Any deviation from normal colour (white/purple/brick red/yellow), the presence of any ‘red spots’ or bleeding can indicate a serious problem.

The gums should be moist to touch and blanch white when finger pressure is placed on them. If they are dry or tacky this can indicate dehydration. The amount of time it takes for the gum to return to normal pink colour from white is called the ‘Capillary Refill Time’ (CRT) and should be 1-2 seconds. Delays beyond 4 seconds can be serious. Delayed CRT is an indication of reduced blood circulation due to reduced volume (blood loss or dehydration) and/or decreased blood pressure (shock).

When checking your horse’s gums it also may be a good time to note any changes in your horse’s breath odour and check for any grass seeds packed in the gums or teeth. Any ulceration of the gums or tongue can also be picked up at this time.
