Thanks for sharing the pictures. The pony's procedure was definitely more intense than what my guy has been through. Lad is due for a dental check next month, so we'll see if there are any other candidates for extraction.

The vet wasn't sure if the pony could be saved even if all incisors would be pulled immediately.
Why was the pony at the point where the vet felt that the pony couldn't be saved? Because of inability to eat??

Hi, Texsuze Lad is 20. He is doing great at this point. You'd never know he has had any teeth pulled. He is still able to eat carrots, etc. There is another tooth that is loose - when #3 is pulled that may change things. The extractions have not caused him any problems, at all, so I'm very optimisti...
