Sharp points on his teeth! His teeth or a mouth problem had crossed my mind, but since I'd had his teeth checked in October and couldn't find any sores in his mouth, I crossed that off my list and moved on to more dramatic scenarios. I've never been so glad to be wrong! Dr. Gary says he'll be eating his hay much better in a day or two.
Photo notes -
1. He's not blindfolded, he's wearing his fly mask, which we use as a wind mask to cut down on his blocked tear ducts (airborne allergies + windy days = blocked tear ducts).
2. Yes, I wish Stephanie wasn't pulling his mask into his eyes! No harm done, by the way.
3. No, he doesn't have really strange hooves, he's wearing bell boots.
4. Yes, he really is a delicate tropical flower.
Gee, I sound crabby, and I'm really not. I may be a wee bit over-tired after a worry filled couple of days.

Big sigh of relief from me too -I think I was holding my breath reading this then ! it`s horrible when you know something is wrong -isn`t it ? such a worry ,sending you a big hug - I think you need it x
LOL at your tropical flower! Glad it was such an easy fix :)
I'm sorry you had to worry so. Hope he will feel better soon and eat well again.
I'm glad it wasn't anything serious and that it was an easy fix :)

So much to consider with our critters' health. And multiply it by 100 when it comes to horses, I guess. Good that Paj is fine, Terry! I can hear your sigh fro here!
I'm glad you got that fixed. How perceptive of you to catch things so quickly and get them taken care of. A lot of owners would have waited longer.
I find it amazing how quickly the horses' mouths can change. Pippin needs floating every 6 or 7 months!
What a relief. It is amazing how delicate these big animals can be and how they worry us. I'm glad it was something so easily remedied. Now that your worries are behind, I hope you get some rest while Paj is happily chomping down his food and trying out his freshly renovated molars.
Have some chamomile tea and relax Terry... everything is going to be Ok...I just know it...and you crabby I don't think so...you are just a concerned Mommy!!!!!
