🦷 A quick peek doesn’t tell the whole tooth!

There’s a lot going on in the back of your horse’s mouthand a brief look can miss problems hiding there.

A sedated oral exam allows your veterinarian to use a speculum, light, and other tools to thoroughly evaluate the teeth, gums, and other tissues for issues such as fractures, infection, and painful sores.

Equine dentistry is about more than floating. It’s about finding problems and choosing the right care for your horse. If your horse is due for a dental exam, call our office to schedule!

Dr. Nysether has hit the ground running at Sawtooth Equine Service seeing horses throughout the Wood River Valley for fall wellness and lameness appointments, and jumping right in on emergencies!

A Washington native and lifelong horse lover, she earned her Animal Science degree at Washington State University. Her path took her to Kentucky Equine Research and work as an equine veterinary assistant before veterinary school at the University of Arizona and an equine internship in California.

Some of you already met Dr. Inga at our Keys to Winter Success seminar, where she helped horse owners tackle body condition, nutrition, and hydration for the colder months.

We love caring for your horses in every season, but dental work is a little more delightful when we can feel our fingers.

🍂 Are you noticing the subtle signs that winter is on its way?

Brisk afternoon breezes, dust devils dancing across the pasture, tumbleweeds rolling by, brilliant red sunrises, and horses feeling a little friskier on those chilly mornings! 🐎

But there's one sign of the changing season we'd rather NOT see... your veterinarian's colic kit making an appearance in your barn!

As temperatures drop, changes in water consumption and feeding routines can increase the risk of colic.

Three simple steps can help reduce that risk:

💧 WATER: Provide constant access to fresh, clean, ice-free water to encourage hydration.

🌾 FORAGE: Ensure adequate, appropriate forage. Fiber fermentation helps generate warmth from the inside out!

🧂 SALT: Provide adequate salt to encourage drinking and support hydration.

⚠️ Even with the best preventive care, colic can still happen! If your horse shows signs of discomfort, pawing, rolling, looking at their flank, or refusing feed, contact your veterinarian immediately. Early intervention can make all the difference!

Here's to enjoying the changing seasons and keeping your veterinarian's colic kit right where it belongs... in the truck! 🐎

Thanks to all that joined us for our first Horse Sense education seminar: Keys to Winter Success. Dr. Roos and Dr. Nysether presented on how to get your horse ready for winter by ensuring dental health for nutritional absorption and how to feed for the upcoming cold weather. Luckily, we were blessed with a beautiful fall day in the Wood River Valley. We look forward to many more learning opportunities with our wonderful horse community! Thank you from the team at Sawtooth Equine
