- Dental Float, 1901-1925 - A horse with uneven surfaces or sharp points on its teeth may have difficulty in chewing and not process food properly. Those who care for horses can use a file or "float" to smooth and contour a horse's ever-growing teeth. "Floating" helps prevent sores in the mouth and provides flat chewing surfaces to thoroughly grind hay, grasses, and grains to aid with digestion.

- Obstetrical Chain, circa 1930 - Many large, domesticated animals (cows, horses, and hogs, for example) give birth naturally without assistance. However, veterinarians may intervene if the animal is having difficulty or if a calf (cow) or foal (horse) or piglet (hog) is stillborn. Obstetrical chains help assist during these complicated births.

- Trocar and Cannula, circa 1920 - Bloat is a condition usually caused by improper feed for cattle, sheep, or horses. The stomach swells with gas, and the pressure must be relieved. A trocar is a tool that allows a veterinarian to puncture the animal's stomach and let the gas escape through a tube--a cannula. This sounds desperate, but it is better than the alternative of letting the animal die.

- Tooth Elevator, circa 1910 - Domestic horses require frequent dental maintenance to file down a tooth's sharp edges and prevent infections. Occasionally, however, a horse's tooth needs to be removed. This dental elevator helps veterinarians lift an infected tooth, making it easier to grasp with forceps to extract it.
