Anyone seen swelling like this?

[cauda equina]

So sorry; sometimes horses just can't be fixed
You and Superdad have nothing at all to feel guilty about; it's time to look after yourselves now

[ponyparty]

So sorry to hear this TPO. You absolutely did everything you could, he was a lucky boy to have such dedicated owners. It's human nature to question ourselves but please - don't, on this occasion! Sending love xx

 

[Tiddlypom]

So sorry, TPO.

If ever a happy ending was deserved through effort and commitment, it was for all of you, and Vinnie.

 

[PapaverFollis]

I'm so sorry TPO. Utterly heartbreaking. You and Superdad really went above and beyond for him. I'm just so sorry it didn't pay off for you all in the end. Run free lovely Vinnie. x

Take care and rest for you and Superdad now. x

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I am so utterly sorry, you did absolutely everything possible and gave him every chance. He couldn't have asked for better and you should be so proud of the support and love you gave him.

Your hard work deserved a better outcome but he is out of pain and was never in any doubt of how much loved he was.

 

[meleeka]

So sorry it wasn’t a happy ending but nobody could accuse you or your dad of not doing enough. Look after yourself x

 

[Marnie]

I'm so sorry to hear this and others said, you all did as much as you possibly could to give him every chance. Thinking of you all x

 

[ester]

So sorry. x

 

[southerncomfort]

I'm so sorry.

Their is honestly nothing more you and your dad could have done. You've both gone above and beyond throughout.

You've been so kind and helpful to me and others on many occasions, I wish I could think of something to say that could make this less painful.

Thinking of you and your parents. X

 

[Clodagh]

Oh my I have been following your amazing endeavours here and I'm so sorry to hear that.
You did abnove and beyond anything that was possible. x

 

[ihatework]

Oh that’s heartbreaking. I’m so sorry TPO x x

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I'm so sorry TPO, you and superdad did everything humanly possible to help and you have absolutely nothing to regret or feel guilty about.
Look after yourselves both of you, and rest peacefully Vinnie x

 

[chaps89]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please don't feel guilty, it honestly doesn't sound like you could have done anything more, he was very lucky to have you and Superdad nursing him through, I'm just sad for you that it didn't have a better outcome.

 

[OldNag]

I am so, so sorry, You all couldn't have done any more than you did. Vinnie was very clearly a very much loved horse. xx

 

[HobleytheTB]

I'm so sorry to hear this news ? I've followed since the beginning and really hoped for a better outcome. You really couldn't have done anymore, unfortunately sometimes we just can't fix them, no matter how much we try.

 

[LeneHorse]

Sorry to see this sad update. Rest in peace Vinnie.

 

[Fluffypiglet]

Sorry to hear this news, you (and everyone involved) clearly did your best. RIP Vinnie x

 

[Rowreach]

Oh I am so so sorry xxx

 

[Mule]

I've just seen this thread now. I'm so sorry.
Vinnie sounds like he was very well loved. I also lost one to cellulitis. It's a horrible thing xxx ❤

 

[DressageCob]

Such a sad update. I'm sorry for your loss and my heart breaks for your poor super dad.

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

So sorry to hear this news, was really hoping for a good outcome. You and superdad can certainly rest easy knowing you did everything possible to give him his best chance. That was an intense, long, grueling rehab process and you really gave it your best.

A small silver lining is that Vinnie will have gone knowing just how much he was loved, the last few weeks certainly prove that.

 

[Baywonder]

Oh I am so, so sorry @TPO - this was not the outcome anyone wanted.

You and your wonderful dad have done everything possible (and then some) to get Vinnie through this, but it just wasn't to be. You truly could not have done any more. X

 

[LadyGascoyne]

How utterly heartbreaking for you and your family.

Your dedication was exceptional and inspiring, and your horses are lucky to have people like you in their lives.

Take care of yourself TPO, and of superdad too.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

I am so sorry. You and your Dad did as much as was humanly possible and over a prolonged period of time. Neither of you could possibly have done any more, sometimes it just isn't possible to save them. When you have spent so long willing them to get better and putting in so much physical effort, it can be very difficult to let go of the emotional investment. You and Superdad now need to take care of yourselves.

 

[AandK]

How utterly heartbreaking for you and your family.

Your dedication was exceptional and inspiring, and your horses are lucky to have people like you in their lives.

Take care of yourself TPO, and of superdad too.

As above, I am so very sorry to read the last update, heartbreaking.

 

[SEL]

oh I am so sad to see this update. You and your super, super dad went above and beyond to try and get Vinnie well and I'm devastated for you that it didn't work out. It isn't fair as it so often isn't with these wonderful horses of ours.

Sending you tonnes of hugs xx

 

[windand rain]

So sorry the read this was hoping against hope for a good outcome. RIP Vinny beautiful boy. You and Dad did everything and more you could so lookafter yourselves and each other now

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

RIP Vinnie.

 

[Squeak]

So sorry to hear this, you and your dad put in such a huge and inspirational effort.

 

[tda]

You did all you could and more, sometimes it's just not meant to be.
Thinking of you all xx
