Equine DentistryEquine Dentistry with Dr. Tolley

As part of a recent client education series Dr. John Tolley of Bakersfield large Animal Veterinary Hospital gave a talk on equine dentistry.  There was a slide presentation by the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) that went along with the talk.  While the slides did enhance the talk, the information on equine dentistry is still valuable as stand alone audio.  One thing I’ve learned over the years is that we pick up information a little at a time.  There is a lot of info contained in this talk to enhance your knowledge of what is going on in your horse’s mouth.  The basics are covered.  Equine dentistry can be confusing, but Dr. Tolley offers very clear explanations of teeth growth, problems, and preventive measures.  Dr. Tolley also describes signs you can look for to know if your horse is in need of equine dentistry.

Horse Emergencies Preparation

Horse Emergencies Preparation


horse emergenciesDo you know what to do with the wide range of horse emergencies?  We know that if you own a horse there are going to be horse emergencies.  How do you clean a wound?  What is the proper way to take your horse’s heart rate?  What should every equine first aid kit contain?  These are the type of questions you need the answers to handle all sorts of horse emergencies.

Our local veterinary hospital, Bakersfield Large Animal Hospital, occasionally holds client seminars.  We were invited to the most recent one held at a banquet room here locally.  The topic was handling horse emergencies and the guest speaker was Dr. Jeff Hall, DVM.  Dr. Hall works for Zoetis Pharmaceutical, a veterinary medical supply company.  In his systematic approach, Dr. Hall offers some great advice when you are faced with an emergency situation.  Dr. Hall also tells us about a new product we should consider including in our horse emergencies kit.  Dormosadan® gel is a mild sedative that can be very useful to remove tension from many emergency situations.

We hope you find these educational podcasts informative and valuable.   I would really love hearing your feedback.

What do you know about Horse Health?

Horse Health with Dr. TolleyHow do maintain horse health?  As a new horse owner, what costs are associated with horse health?  Owning a horse is a great experience.  Unfortunately, horses aren’t maintenance free.  We wanted to answer these questions and more so we reached out to our reliable source of information and local expert on horse health, our veterinarian Dr. John Tolley.  Dr. Tolley is a partner at Bakersfield large Animal Veterinary Hospital.  With more than 20+ years of experience, he knows horses.  On this show, you learn about horse feed requirements and supplementation.  Plus, we tell you what vaccinations and worming products you need.  Dr. Tolley talks about the importance of equine dentistry, too.  Everything concerning horse health is covered in this general conversation.

Dr. Tolley says he will come back and share more thoughts on horse health.  If you have a topic you would like to see us cover, please shoot me an email.
