I have just spoken to the vet again its so uppsetting being stuck in London doing stupid exams but I have decided to have him put to sleep for those who did not see my earlier thread Roscoe basically overeached and ripped his own foot off. There was chance that over 9 months a small part of it would grow back but I cant put him through that. He was truly special horse the bravestand most forgiving I have ever met and has gone from a wasted and nervous wreck to a best friend he has done so much for me especially through my parents divorce and I cant believe I have to make this choice but at least its done now xx
 
Just read your pervious post and now this.....So sorry to hear this, but i think you have made the right decision for him. It would be one painful recovery if he did recover enough to be out of pain.
Best all round. feel for you not being there, but brave of you to take the advise from your mum and the vets and not let him suffer more than he has already.
he has been a true friend to you and now you have repaid that friendship in the hardest but kindest way.

(((((((all the hugs in the world))))))

RIP Roscoe
 
That's a very brave decision and I can't help thinking the right one. So sorry you have had to make it though :(
 
Such a sad decision to have to make but from what you have written in your other post I would say you are doing the best thing for him. So sorry - hugs xx
 
It's a hard decision for you to make..... But it's the right one and your boy will appreciate that. Thinking of you xxx
 
So sorry to hear this, I had a horse that did this, before I owned him and although it did 'kind of' grow back he was never right, he had all sorts of problems and early onset of arthritis etc due to compensating.

You really have made the right decision and worst that you are not there. Big hugs from me and remember all of the good times you had with him xxxx
 
Awwwwww how horribly for you all, always a shock when something sudden happens!

You are being very brave and you couldn't let the poor sod go through something like that, good decision

XX
 
So very very sorry to read your post. You have made a very brave desition. (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) to you.
I know how hard it is when you can't be there. I to was faced with the very same dilema with my belovid mare Lucy. I was on holiday when the time came to let her go :( I had no way of getting back and never got the chance to say goodbye. My heart broke that day but it was the right desition for Lucy as this is the right desition for Roscoe.
What a caring and loving owner he has to put him first. He will be so greatful to you for putting him first and it shows just how much you love him.
Take care of yourself and remember the good times.
I know there is nothing I can realy say to take away your pain right now. But if you need someone to talk to, someone to listen, someone who understands please feel free to PM me if you wish and I will do my best to help in any way I can. xx

RIP Roscoe. Run free and out of pain. You'll never be forgotton as you were truly loved. xxxxxxxxx
 
Hugs here, Ive never had to had to make that decision and hope I dont have to at any point.
From what I can gather you took him on when he wasnt in the best of shape so please take comfort in the fact that you gave this beautiful horse the best of times and all the love and tlc needed, right to the end xxxx
 
What a horrendous accident. You have made a brave and right decision, there's no way I'd put a horse through that. xxx
