Looking for feedback on filling teeth.
Horse is 18, I found a lump behind her jaw and asked vet to come out. Only a small lump but she had been coughing over winter then had an episode of choke so wanted her checked in case something going on.
Vet said lump nothing to worry about, but did check her teeth and found 2 with decay, one on each side, top back. Teeth x-rayed and checked with camera. No infection found.
Vet wants her to go in and have them filled, specialist coming to do the procedure, will be sedated but can come home same day. EDT saw her yesterday and said not to bother. Insurance will pay so cost not an issue. Not showing any sign of discomfort, eating etc as normal.
Has anyone any knowledge of this and can give an opinion. Thanks in advance, grateful for any helpful comments.
