Equine Mouth Ailments: Natural Ozone Treatment

Oral Affections in Horses: A Frequent and Painful Problem

The horse's mouth is a sensitive and complex area, constantly used for feeding, communication, and ridden work. Oral affections can cause pain, discomfort, and significantly impact the horse's well-being and performance. Ozonetherapy offers a natural, effective, and gentle solution to treat these delicate problems, providing a natural alternative to antibiotics particularly suited for sensitive animals.

Major Oral Affections in Horses

1. Oral Ulcers and Canker Sores

Oral ulcers are painful lesions that can appear on the gums, tongue, cheeks, or palate. Causes: trauma from bits, sharp teeth or dental points, irritating feed, nutritional deficiencies, stress. Symptoms: difficulty eating, excessive salivation, resistance to the bit, weight loss, bad breath.

2. Gingivitis and Gum Inflammation

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that can progress to more serious infections. Causes: tartar accumulation, poor oral hygiene, bacterial infections, dental problems. Symptoms: red and swollen gums, bleeding, persistent bad breath, pain when chewing.

3. Oral Wounds and Injuries

Causes: bites, injuries from bits or bridles, foreign bodies, accidents, dental procedures.

4. Fungal Infections (Oral Thrush)

More rare, they primarily affect immunocompromised horses or those on prolonged antibiotics. Symptoms: whitish patches, inflammation, pain, bad breath.

5. Stomatitis

Widespread inflammation of the oral mucosa of infectious, allergic, autoimmune, or medication-related origin.
