My six year old mare had her second premolar at the top removed a week ago. Luckily we caught the root infection quickly as I noticed some swelling and got the vet straight out and after an x-ray showed a potential infection, she had a CT scan which located the problem. It was done by a specialist under standing sedation and came out cleanly. Bless her she behaved and ate normally all the way through.
I have been told by the specialist she needs two weeks off, then the packing removed before she can be worked. But having had a molar out myself that doesn't seem long enough for it to heal.
Anyone got any experience of this?
