I have a nice young mare about to go to the specialists to have a rear tooth removed. She had her mouth seen 4 times by my vet in the last 12 months - 1st when we were about to back her. She wouldn't settle in her mouth and was quidding badly - another check. Then another - oh gee, she has a ramp on one side. That was treated - still trouble and FINALLY - oh gee, she has a nasty hook RIGHT at the back - and an ulcer - and the tooth has gone crooked. The quote to have it removed - £1500 - and that's without all the money I've spent on her mouth in the last 12 months to no avail! Just to complicate things, that vet has just retired. (He'd been my vet for 30 years and never had a problem with him before.) OH insists I should do my vets for negligence - has anyone had to do this?
Once 'sorted', the mare will be for sale and obviously this problem ill have an effect on her value - she'll need more frequent dental treatment than 'normal'.
