I'd get a vet who will pull the tooth and flush the infection
out of the socket.

I called my vet and she agreed the tooth must come out. now, I have
a problem. I called the other vet (i'm waiting for her call back)
I have to handle this w/ kit gloves due to the horse not really
belonging to me anymore.
I'm sure I can handle this w/tact, I know it looks like I'm going
over the new-owners head, but I'd go over anyone to protect this
horse at any cost.
The person who has him now is a friend, but she's a bit odd! It's
a long story and I know she loves this horse..she just thinks that
he'll be fine when the tooth falls out..she thinks of them as horses
where I think of them as so much more then that.
and I just can't see any animal suffer espally horses

Well, if the horse now belongs to her, you need to discuss this
matter with her, first. Among other things, is the vet bill for
removal of the tooth. She may not be willing to pay for another
vet call, when she already paid for one and is following that vet's
orders (wrong that they might be).
Good luck!

Better a quick barn call now than one later when the abcess has
gone into the jaw! The infection can't drain properly with the
tooth still in there and think of the pressure underneath it in the
meantime!

I called my friends vet, but she didn't call me back until I was
gone from work. so the vet called my friend..my freind tells the
vet that everything is fine w/the horse and I just worry alot.
I asked my friend if the tooth fell out yet and she does not know.
I told her I think in the best interest of the horse that we should
know forsure if the tooth came out (I dont think it has) so that
way we can stop an infection going to the jaw.. the friend just
tells me his fine and not to worry.
I know money w/this person is no problem and she does love the
horse...but she is a bit slow and she really doesn't get it 1/2
the time (in a nice way) and she is one of those people who you
can't tell anything to..they just know all.
So, I guess I'm stuck..I've done all I can...the horse is still in
pain very much and the tooth still smells like death, so bad you
can't walk near him w/out tossing your cookies
I can't belive the vet just did come up to give him another look
over and see if the tooth is out..it's been 12 or 13days now.

| I have been away from this notesfile for a while. What happened to the
old man?

I guess he's still alive? I have not seen the person who has him
since. She makes me so frustrated..I just want to pop her one in
the chin...she never listens. I wish there was a way to get him
back.
I could find out how he is, but I don't think I want to know.

| I know what you mean. My EX took the horses with him when we
separated. He is an accomplised horseman but has never had broodmares
before. I really worry about the girls foaling. One of them is maden
and the other is 22 years old and hasn't foaled successfully in years.
She did take well this time though. The were due near the end of Feb
and since he hasn't called, I'll have to assume they did okay. I'm too
scared to call and find out that one or more of them have had some type
of problem. Also, he was having money trouble. I just hope he didn't
sell the older one. She really needs TLC as do most older horses.

I went to see him this weekend. He still has alittle bit of
snot in his nose, but not like before. but, he looks good and
he is acting fine. We still don't know if the tooth is gone.
but since the smell is gone.. I guess I will assume the tooth
is gone :-?

| Great!!! The snot thing comes and goes, just like kids.
I'm happy the old guy is doing better. Now if I could only get up the
nerve to check on my mare in Idaho.

I went to see the old man this weekend. The person who has him
told us, he is getting sick again.. alot of stuff comming out of
his nose and more infection. She said she put him back on
pennacillian. she did call her vet...but they are still not
worried about if the tooth is still in or not!
Does anyone have any documentation on absess teeth? she wont
listen to me...so maybe is she reads it in a journal or something
she might take more action?

| I'm very sorry to hear that he is ill once again. Good luck and I dont
have a thing on absesed teeth. I have never really had a problem with
them before.

update:
Well, the horse is still sick. The lady called the vet again. the
vet came out and took xrays (about time)! the tooth is on the top
by the brain...it is loose but not that loose.
The Vet does not want to take it out...due to it being close to the
brain and they whole it would leave would be to much for the horse.
They could send him to tuffs and have it removed and stiched up but
horse is a scrabler in a trailer...so the lady does not want to put
him in the trailer....
I say...pad him up good...and get him to tuffs! this horse is
going to die from all the toxins!
what is w/ these people?

Update:
I new ower had called the vet to xrays and the xrays finally came back.
They show a 'growth' above the loose tooth. They think the 'growth'
is causing the absessing.
They could take the horse to tuffs, do a biopsy and put him through
all kinds of test to see what this is, but at his age, 33 - the owner
does not think he should have to go through all this.
It looks like she will put him down in the next week or so. after
we all have said goodbye.
--
This type of death for this horse is just not right! This horse is
a fighter and full of life and spunk..you would never know he is
33 - he acts like he's 10!
I knew Joe would have to die someday, but not from a 'growth' that
is causig him discomfort. Joe should of went out in a blaze of glory!
He deserves more then a pat on the head, a carrott and a lethal
injection
I'm sorry, I can't go on.. I started to cry again. This is to hard
to deal with.
