He's had his heart rate done when he's done strenuous exercise and when stressed nothing's come up so far. I spoke to vet after it happened but she didn't seem too worried as heart rate was normal etc but said to keep a close eye. But after the incident before (a much longer story I just gave a...

Thank you for your replies- he's been tested for most things he came to me with a strange hind gait and 101 other issues- we now know it's due to a si injury and that he doesn't have wobblers . He could have a neurological problem that's one thing we haven't looked into but he doesn't show any...

Hi My horse had the dentist today, half way through having his teeth done he collapsed. I'm just wondering if stress may have caused this? he had been given 5ml of the oral sedative- Acepromazine 35g in a ten ml tube- an hour before this happened (he weighs over 650kg so this is a low...

Just to update- vet payed the bill :-)! Re questions Horse put his head up vet jumped back thinking he was going to do something naughty rasp was right at the back of horses mouth, vet let go of rasp , the movement spooked horse he kind of stumbled: jumped forward forward hitting his mouth...

I know It is a total nightmare! I'm so glad my boy is going to be ok but I'm devastated that it happened in the first place! I will be contacting the vet this afternoon direct. I will update you guys on my progress thank you so much it's really made me feel like I'm not being silly...

Thanks guys he's on his way home yay!! so unfortunately not had chance to ring BHS yet but will do as soon as I get chance. It was a manual rasp he had already used the electric one and then switched. I agree that he shouldn't have let go of the rasp it actually hit me when it fell out of my...

They are closing due to personal circumstances (husband and wife team). It was such an unfortunate accident. I will be going down BHS route- I just wanted to see if anyone had experienced similar and what the outcome was. If I had pots of money then it wouldn't be an issue. Xx

The vet practice is closing as of Saturday, we have always had a great relationship with them but obviously due to them closing Iv had to register to be with another vet anyway. There was very little I could do to restrain him as vet had insisted that I just have the head collar round his neck I...

Yeah the vet was rasping the very back teeth he's normally so good so something must have hurt him to make him react plus the vet also jumped back really quick and let go of his hold on the gag making him loose balance it all happened so quick. Definitely will ring BHS! Just been told he can...

Thank you for all your comments :-). Goldenstar problem is is they referred him to another vets straight after the accident meaning that the cost of hospitalisation/ treatment isn't in their hands and I will be billed separately. X

Nope I cancelled their insurance not long ago after my mare had an accident - they wouldn't cover as that leg was excluded from a previous injury but they still put premium up and added more exclusions, I got fed up and cancelled my policies. I know I might get stick for this but Iv always...

I told him I couldn't afford to spend thousands getting him better when he said he needed to go to the equine hospital. He said that I shouldn't worry about the money as there are ways of sorting it, he didn't say he would pay himself but heavily implied it. Vet hasn't mentioned anything...

Hi, Looking for some advice/ similar experiences as want to know where I stand! My vet came out to do routine dental work on one of my horses, whilst rasping my horse jumped forward slightly the vet let go of the rasp leaving it in my horses mouth. My horse who was heavily sedated then...

Hi Just thought I'd see if any of you lovely people could give me some advice! In the future I may have to relocate my horses to Aberdovey in Wales, to help look after my father and his business. He already has land and stables etc so I wouldn't need to worry about finding livery. I currently...

He is the spitting image of my boy (mine might be a tad chunkier but apart from that)! If I knew how to upload pictures I would! He's lovely! Xx
