Why do we do dental nerve blocks? 🦷💉
-A veterinarian may perform a nerve block before extracting a horse’s tooth to provide local anesthesia and control pain. Horse teeth have deep roots and are surrounded by sensitive tissues, so removing a tooth can be painful even when the horse is sedated.
-A nerve block temporarily numbs the nerves supplying the tooth and surrounding gums, allowing the veterinarian to work more safely and comfortably. It can also reduce the amount of sedation needed, limit movement during the procedure, and provide pain relief for a period of time afterward.
-For more difficult extractions, especially involving fractured, infected, or firmly attached teeth, effective local anesthesia is an important part of making the procedure as safe and humane as possible.

Equine Laminitis Series

*Last Part!*

Part 4: Life after laminitis

A horse’s prognosis after laminitis can range from excellent to poor, depending mostly on how much damage occurred inside the hoof.

• Mild cases with no coffin bone displacement: Often have a good to excellent prognosis. Many horses return to normal riding or athletic use.

• Rotation of the coffin bone: Prognosis becomes more guarded, but many horses can still become comfortable and useful with good farrier care and management.

• Sinking/distal displacement of the coffin bone: Much more serious and carries a guarded to poor prognosis, especially if severe.

• Chronic laminitis: Some horses remain comfortable for years, but they may require ongoing corrective trimming/shoeing, dietary management, and periodic radiographs.

• Recurrent endocrinopathic laminitis: Horses with EMS, insulin dysregulation, or PPID can do very well if the underlying condition is controlled, but they remain at increased risk for future episodes.

The biggest factors affecting long-term outcome are how quickly treatment began, degree of rotation or sinking, remaining sole depth, blood supply to the foot, pain level, and whether the underlying cause can be controlled.

Equine Laminitis Series

Part 3: Treatment for laminitis

Treatment depends on the cause, severity, and whether P3 displacement has occurred, but the main approaches are:

• Treat the underlying cause: Control insulin dysregulation/EMS or PPID, aggressively treat sepsis/endotoxemia, or address the opposite-limb injury in supporting-limb laminitis.

• Cryotherapy: Continuous icing of the distal limbs is one of the most effective interventions during the developmental/very early acute phase, particularly in sepsis-associated laminitis.

• Pain and inflammation control: NSAIDs such as phenylbutazone or flunixin are commonly used. More severe cases may require additional multimodal analgesia.

• Foot support: Frog/sole support with impression material, foam, pads, boots, casts, or other supportive systems helps redistribute weight away from damaged lamellae.

• Deep bedding and restricted movement: Stall rest on a deep, conforming surface helps support the foot and limits additional lamellar damage. Forced exercise should be avoided during active laminitis.

• Corrective trimming/shoeing: Guided by radiographs. Goals include improving breakover, maintaining adequate sole depth, supporting the caudal foot, and reducing forces pulling P3 away from the dorsal hoof wall.

• Dietary management: For endocrinopathic laminitis, restrict high-NSC feeds/pasture and institute appropriate weight loss when indicated.

• Serial radiographs: Used to monitor rotation/sinking and guide changes in trimming and mechanical support.

• Surgery: In severe refractory cases with progressive rotation, a deep digital flexor tenotomy may occasionally be considered.

📣Available to an approved home – 15-Year-Old Mare📣

Meet Shug!

Shug is a sassy and sweet 15yr old sorrel Quarab mare who has been part of our veterinary practice’s breeding program as a recipient mare.

She has served us well, and is now retired from being a recipient mare. We would love to find her a good long-term home where she can have a new purpose and plenty of attention.

Because she has primarily been used as a broodmare/recipient mare, we are not representing her as a trained riding horse. She has been worked in the round pen with a saddle on her and has gone over poles, so we suspect she’s had some training at some point in her life. She is well desensitized, handles new experiences nicely, and is excellent for the farrier.

Serious inquiries only, please. We will be selective about placement and would love to hear about the home you can provide.

Please call or text us at (918) 549-0333 for additional information!

Equine Laminitis Series

Part 2: Diagnosing laminitis

Laminitis is diagnosed using a combination of clinical signs, imaging, and testing for the underlying cause.

• Clinical exam: Increased digital pulses, hoof heat, pain with hoof testers, short/stilted gait, reluctance to turn, shifting weight, or a classic “leaning back” stance.

• Radiographs: The most important imaging tool. They can show rotation or sinking of P3, changes in sole depth, palmar angle, and lamellar separation. Early laminitis can still have normal radiographs.

• Venography: Occasionally used in severe cases to evaluate blood flow within the foot and help with prognosis or treatment planning.

• Advanced imaging: MRI or CT may be useful in unusual or chronic cases but is not typically needed.

It is also important to diagnose the cause of the laminitis:

• Insulin testing for insulin dysregulation/EMS, including resting insulin or an oral sugar test.

• ACTH testing for PPID (Cushing’s disease).

• CBC, chemistry, SAA/fibrinogen, ultrasound, etc. if infection, endotoxemia, or systemic illness is suspected.

• Evaluation for supporting-limb overload if there is severe lameness in another limb.
