a visit from the dentist

Today was the donkeys' annual visit from the equine dentist. In this shot, which was taken on my iPhone (it's not easy to hold on to a donkey and take a photo at the same time!), Lilly is having the sharp points rasped off her teeth - the noise is horrible!

Jack is standing in the background, trying to blend into the wall - it's his turn next.......

Awwww I feel for her so much!!!! great image though :) x

[Denise]

Wow...interesting shot. Hope Lilly didn't mind it too much. I can't image the sound of teeth being ground down.

[inertia]

[Howard N]

Very interesting... I have to admit this is probably the only way I would experience a donkey/dentist encounter. Love it.

[Janny Koster]

That is a great shot Jan. Jack is like me in dentist waiting room, blend into the wall so you don't get called in :-) Does it hurt them at all?

[BeckyS]

Oh poor baby. I feel his discomfort.

[Helen]

I wouldn't like to be the donkey or the dentist! Great shot of a professional at work.

[Jim]

hope he got a treat later

[carol white]

Ouch!!

[Lorraine]

Looks scary, do they get upset about it or are they ok? x

[Jane]

Oh my I have goosebumps at the very thought... bless Lilly s heart.... and if I were you Jack I would make a very quick exit..... and what an amazing capture considering how hard it must have been to take whilst holding onto poor Lilly... ♥

[Juliette Packham]

oh my goodness, not sure I'd be wanting that headpiece on to keep my jaws open...I hate the dentisit so hope I never come back as a donkey!

[Sheli]

The expression in her eye says it all. Poor baby and poor Jack, knowing what's coming.

[Vickie]

Very nice picture :)

[Moira Brown]

Poor Lily. Amazing capture and contraption! Next time a video clip :o) so we get all the sound effects! Hope she got lots of treats after!

[Anne]

Superb shot of the vet at work ... well taken given the circumstances :)
Reminds me - my 6 month check-up is due !

[Kim]

Poor baby!

[Alison Tomlin]

Ouch. Bet if they had the choice they wouldnt go! Anyway it was granary bread that did for me and I guess they don't eat that.
