Dental
Report
As a horse owner or someone who works with horses, it is important to be able to recognize signs of dental pathology, so that your horse is able to eat and work comfortably.
Some of the clinical signs your horse may show when they have a dental problem include reluctance to eat, pain while chewing, dropping food, quidding, and excess salivation.
Occasionally they may have swelling to the jaw, a foul odor to their breath and nasal drainage.
These signs may indicate a tooth root infection.
If you see any of these signs your horse should be evaluated by your veterinarian.
