Firstly, before I write anything else, I would just like to personally thank Diane Holliday and Brian Wilson (the EDT's) for their fantastic work. Please feel free to contact me for their details, as I would highly recommend their care and expertise to anybody whose horse needs dental work. Everything was explained in great detail, and advice was given out. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and Snowy's care and comfort was their highest priority throughout the whole procedure. Even our vet seemed highly impressed!
It would appear that Snowy never had a parrot mouth at all!
Because the back teeth were in such bad shape, the jaw was unable to align correctly, forcing the lower jaw back. Diane tells us that there should be an improvement in a relatively short time, and even this morning an improvement in alignment could be seen.
Brian will float his teeth in six months, and there will be a return visit by Diane in twelve months to do some more power work, then with the usual regular checks and care, he shouldn't need any further major work (fingers crossed!).
So, after the huge amount of work done yesterday, we kept Snowy at home last night so that we could keep an eye on him, but this morning he seems bright, happy and well in himself, so will return to his paddock later today to chill out and relax.
Next step - the farrier.
