thanks for that, hopefully it will go smoothly, shes having it out under standing sedation.....pleeeeease let it not break, apparently its not wobbly AT ALL. So vet will be wiggling it loose.:(

My mare has had her xrays, after a recurring bi-lateral smelly discharge, and the vet has told me that she needs one, possibly 2 teeth out from the front up her upper jaw. The list of worries is endless. What is the success rate? If she has these teeth out, which is where the bit would...

Thanks folks, always good to hear different experiences, shes out 24/7 anyway....just wanna get her sorted now....fingers crossed.
