OMG I just nearly had a heart attack!!!

[4leggedfurries]

Brought my boys in this evening when I got home from work and fed them and while they were eating decided to have my tea instead of waiting for them to finish. Came back out to brush them and do rug change and got the fright of my life! (Some of you have prob already seen this on my FB status) The shetlands teeth were just lying in his bucket!!!

I panicked and frantically phoned the vet, i'd never seen this before so was slightly freaked out that my ickle pipsqueak was loosing his teeth, but was sympathetically reassured several times that all was normal. He was just loosing his milk teeth (he's 4)

So now my heart rate is returning to normal, its made me think that perhaps this is why he's been down in the dumps for a few days. Is there anything I can give to him to help with the teething, he's obviously suffering some discomfort? Does any one know where i can get a supersize horse strength tube of bongela?? lol

That would've frightened me to death too!! I hope he perks up soon, nearly a grown-up! Hehe.

When I started to ready your post I thought...hmmmmm that's interesting, a horse with false teeth falling out in their dinner! How very Katie Price! Then I read on to find that your ickle pipsqueak is only 4 and the penny dropped!

Pop them under his straw pillow and the tooth fairy might leave a carrot!

My mate always used normal bonjela on her youngster....seemed to make a difference at the time if that helps lol?

Unless he appears to be particularly sore I'd leave him be. Nature has a way of taking care of things.

Bonjela for babies rubbed on his gums, works wonders

Ha ha, Ive had friends ringing me to check that is normal before now. It's v rare you find baby teeth, they normally just disappear so keep hold of them!

I actually did this

as I read that lol

Glad we read this, possibly about to take on a foal and had NO idea horses lost their teeth!

Ah bless him. Poor likkle mite. He gonna have this for a few years yet. Prob find that when he has his peggies checked the dentist will prob take out a few more for you.

He'll be having peggie issues till he's at least 6/7.
