Anyone ever have a horse diagnosed with periodontal "pockets" that has undergone treatment for it? One of mine was discovered to have a small one and the treatment consist of cleaning the pocket and packing it with an antibiotic substance, then capping it off like a temporary dental filling. It will then heal up on its own.
Vet said we could "wait and see" how he is at the next dental float or procede with the treatment, she left the decision up to me.
I am leaning towards having it done sooner rather than later as it must be uncomfortable with food getting wedged in it.
If anyone has any experience with this, I would love to hear about it.
