Wound irrigation is important. Cleanliness is happiness! But being gently does not get the job done.
Scrubbing with gauze and Betadine is essential followed by flushing with high pressure water. Using peroxide is fine too. Anything to dislodge dirt with minor attention to the non-sterile environment of hose water. Follow everything with…

So… wound cleaning. Should I add a curved tip irrigation syringe to my collection? Every time I think I have a full complement of first aid “stuff”, the horse gives me a reason to get something else. The good old fashioned hose in this case is a bit too much pressure, or so says the horse.

@Katlovan – Thanks for this question. I too have questions about oral supplementation so I listened to a Platinum Performance (PP) podcast on this subject just 2 days ago. Funny how that happens.
While it was a product sponsored podcast, the information was really good in describing what a joint is and how they work. The vet being interviewed…

Biting a carrot is a classic test for incisor pain from EOTRH. It truly is a “huge red flag” when they cannot bite it in two. Thanks for this info!

Doc T,
I do not normally feed carrots but it was the only test I could come up with. Prior to treatment he would not bit a large carrot, now he will. This is a very food motivated horse, him being unwilling to take a carrot and bite it was a huge red flag.

@Lancette Thanks for the update image for the EOTRH. Very useful!

The improvement is remarkable! I have a client with progress images seeing the same results even though she refuses to eliminate grain. This indicates (but in no way proves) that lectins may be responsible for the disease.
My thought on the incisor tarter or the reduced cleaning of the labial (and often lingual) side of the incisors is that…

I started my 24 year old, Khan, on Equident on April 23rd. The attached photo was taken on June 8th. I see a huge improvement in a short amount of time. Please note the first photo I posted in March shows what looks like plaque around his teeth. Turns out it was just soybean meal. :0 I will continue giving him Equident and update his…
