Systems and methods for the treatment of oral and systemic maladies in animals using electrical current

A device comprising:

• a body extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and an opposite second end, the body having an external surface comprising a plurality of circumferential ridges located between the first end and the second end and extending annularly about the longitudinal axis;
• a first electrically conductive surface forming a first portion of the external surface, the first electrically conductive surface extending annularly around a first portion of a first circumferential ridge of the plurality of circumferential ridges at a first longitudinal location along the longitudinal axis;
• a second electrically conductive surface forming a second portion of the external surface, the second electrically conductive surface extending annularly around a second portion of the first circumferential ridge of the plurality of circumferential ridges at the first longitudinal location;
• and
• wherein the first electrically conductive surface is in electrical communication with a first pole of a power source disposed in the body and the second electrically conductive surface is in electrical communication with a second pole of the power source.
