Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary hasn't added a story.
Sparkey arrived at Remus 4 years ago when his owners were no
longer able to provide him with what he needed to live with his
Laminitis and Metabolic Syndrome problems
He is such a happy little pony, very vocal and like a lot of
metabolic syndrome ponies, is driven by food!!!
For some time we noticed his breath smelling quite badly and on
an examination by our vet a Diastema was found. (Diastema is a gap
between two teeth that allows food to build up. As the food rots
down it causes infection in the gap, known as periodontal disease).
When the food in this was cleared a small piece of wood was
found in the gap and following veterinary examinations we have found
that the wood has gone through his gum piercing his nostril. Having
endoscoped his nostril it is clear that this piece of wood has been
there for a long time causing massive distortion to his nostril. It
is not easy to extract a horses tooth due to their design and the
roots being deep set so poor Sparkey had to go through three
sessions under sedation to finally be able to remove the tooth!
We spent many hours with our vet clearing food from his
nostrils that had gone through the hole and now we are trying to
sort the hole out – it is too early at this stage to say whether the
hole will heal or not and we now have to wait and see but for now it
is packed to prevent any more food going up through the hole into
the nostril
Dear little Sparkey has been through so much and yet we don’t
know how this is going to turn out but he has remained his usual
cheery self and within minutes of the sedation wearing off he’s back
to himself and calling for company and food!
He is only 12yrs old so we want to give him every chance
possible but this of course has already cost veterinary care into
thousands of pounds with more vet visits and possibly surgery to
sort out.
Please help him!
