Just curious where my fellow Texans are going to get their horses' teeth floated now that the house bill is in effect (thank you Rick Perry and Texas Veterinary Board, and all vets wanting a bigger piece of the pie). I understand that non-veterinary equine dental experts will now be fined $5000 per day and face felony charges. The vets in my area do not work on teeth, are not interested, and do not have the instruments for mini's teeth. The one person that my vet recommended last year has been shut down. I called him and he told me that a relative of his that floated teeth had paid a $10,000 fine and is now "a felon" so therefore he is not risking working in his profession at this present time. Hopefully this will get overturned but meanwhile....???? Please do not post anything that could potentially get a good tooth floater in trouble. If you can be of assistance please PM me. I have a mare that is showing signs of needing her teeth floated. I really do not want to trailer her to Oklahoma and even if I did it would be limited to southeast. The people that passed this stupid law did not do it in the interest horses or owners.
