My 6yo had what I'm pretty sure was her first ever dentist visit today. As expected, her teeth were in a terrible state, but the vet has also said she's got a wolf tooth that needs to come out, and wants to take her into hospital to do it.
This is just coming through yard staff atm, and I haven't had a chance to speak to the vet directly (will have to wait until Monday) but I'm a bit startled. I've got no experience of wolf teeth (never had a horse this young) but my understanding was that they can usually be taken out at home under sedation. Should I be worried?
