Just a note to add about wolf teeth. They pull out relatively easy compared
to the other teeth so it can be done with some sedation and that's it.

A word of advice on wolf teeth .. don't hesitate.
In my experience, if you are aware there is a problem with the wolf teeth,
they should come out right away.
If there is a chance that the might not occur even once, when you're driving

Janne, what is harvest dust? Up here in Alaska we have termination

Congrats, Grass and Feed
on topic .. my vet believes that wolf teeth are much more common in fjords
.. but said she sees them fairly often in thoroughbreds too -- I guess we need
to define fairly often -- that works against your theory, Karen, which had
immediate resonance for me .. but I'm not going to give up .. I'll

Are you talking about CANINE teeth? These are just behind the last
incisors. Wolf teeth are tiny teeth just IN FRONT of the molars. These
you remove. You should NOT remove canine teeth! They will usually have a
very large root. Yes, few mare have canines, usually, but many have wolf
dental
checks that I insist on. Oldest wolf tooth they had
seen! So my vets are always careful to check my guys,
they also seem to think it is a little more common
than other breeds.
That was the same with Torden - his wolf teeth were the biggest my
equine dentist had ever seen (and he's seen

Hello Cheryl,
I was just trying to remember how many of our Fjords have not had wolf teeth,
for in our experience, more do than do not. With some thought, I know that
most of the geldings yearling age or older had them, but with the fillies
horses to have them. And do you have them removed.
Hi Cheryl-
My Rafael had wolf teeth when I got him. I had them removed at the vet's
recommendation.

I believe maybe the veterinarian confused his terminology. Wolf teeth
are common in both sexes and all breeds. They are the small teeth which
are usually immediately in front of, and touching, the big upper molars.
It is a fairly minor procedure
