Carl Mitz just left

[Sandy S.]

What a national war debt but it was worth it to have him come. The dwarves mouths were horrible of course. He ended up having to work on 15 of our horses, only the dwarves and two others had some major work done. One 26 year old which has lost molars and packing food in her mouth and one of our mares had split a molar and it was infected and had to be pulled. Everyone else just need floated.

He was so good with the dwarves even though they were all pain in the butts. All three were fighters. Zoeys mouth is the worse. And then Ice Cube needed a lot of work done too and she had such a small mouth it was hard to do the work. Gimley had the best teeth of all, but we have to do some special work at Carls reccomendation to a hoof to bring her front shoulder up. We will have to build up her hoof on the side she walks on to bring her level and put an L shaped piece of stainless steel on. This is not for correction on making her walk right, it is just to bring her level to help her not do any more damage to her shoulder. Zoey is going to need a lot of work done in the spring to get caps out and we have to watch because she will possibly have problems with the roots coming up through her skin and possibly break through when her permanents come in. She is already having breathing problems because of her teeth.

Oh bad news is Carl is cutting back, only traveling 10 days now each month and is hoping to keep cutting back. His new adventure to keep him around home more is his barbecue sauce and catering. But he says he will still be in the dentistry business for several more years though. Thank Goodness, just don't know what we will do with out him. And darn it, they were suppose to move to Indiana but his wife found a house in Texas that she liked instead. So they are staying in Texas. This was his 3rd or 4th time he has come to see us. Just hard to get him here with him being in such a demand.

Oh well, just had to thank him publicly for making it and sing his praises of course. He does so well with the minis.

WHATEVER Carl charges.....it's worth it!!!! :aktion033: But, you know, I find him to be cheaper than my own vet....and does a MUCH better job on the minis!

:

In fact, Carl is coming in the morning to do my "fall check" on all my horses. I have a couple who are losing caps that need to be looked at, a 6 week old foal, and a mare who is packing food in her cheeks. (think I can feel some sharp edges there).

Love talking to him & "catching up" with what he's been up to. His little boy sure is growing fast...and a chip off the ole block!

: I'm with you tho...sure wish he would settle down closer to Ohio. I've never had to wait long on him to come, but would just feel better if he were close. THANK GOD he's still going to be doing the dentistry for several more years!

Carl was here this spring and I really dread the day he does stop coming...he is just the BEST!!

I agree with Dona..his price is VERY reasonable..when you think of it. He always checks them all and if work is needed they get done very quickly and that translates into less stress on the horse.

Does anyone have Carl's website?

Thanks Carlene

I am not complaining about Carl's prices, believe me what he did, with our equine vet we might have been able to only have 4 done instead of 15 and not as good of a job. We took one of our mares in once to the vet and it cost 3 times as much as Carl charged and then a month and a half later when Carl came it really had not been done right and he corrected it. She has not needed anything done for 4 years and this year it was just floating. Carl is fun to talk to and just full of information on minis. Pick his brain, he is a mini encyclopedia.

It was money well spent to keep our minis healthy, just glad all 32 didn't need something done.
