Since I got Charlie in 2020, I have achieved my hoof trimming badge, my nutrition badge, my vaccine reaction badge, my laminitis badge, fecal water syndrome badge, and last year I got my cervical spine AND EPM badges.
2025 is shaping up for a dental badge. Since I’ve had Charlie, Ive been told that his molars grow funny. Same vet who misdiagnosed the neck issues with laminitis gave no indication to anything other than annual dental work.
We had DVM that only does dental work do our dentals yesterday. WONDERFUL bedside manner, took his neck issues into consideration while he was sedated, was super thorough and showed me a bunch of stuff. He has a huge ulcer on his back left side and a smaller one on the right
Before she got started, I told her that recently he’s been wanting the massage gun at his TMJ/ears, and along his cheek. How that feels good and doesn’t make it hurt is beyond my capacity.
Looking for other experiences on this, but she cleaned and flushed it out real good, recommended hitting him with ivermection/eqimax as she has seen parasites cause/contribute to what he’s got going on, and 6 month dentals from here on out to make sure his teeth are balanced. She’s going to come back in a month to see if we have any improvements after the float/wormer. She did say it could be something to biopsy, but she thinks its likely from the teeth growth.
