Just had the vet out to see one of my 4 yr olds who's gravel wasnt getting any better. Her soles seperated and her hooves have come away from the coronet band today. vet thinks the pedal bone has dropped and the hooves will fall off soon. he is coming back with the x-ray asap. we have the huntsman on standby. All from bloody gravel in the field.
i am so fed up with things dying. Rosemary today will take it up to 5 -2 dogs and now 3 horses in just a couple of months. i know that with animals comes inevitable death, ive grown up with it, but this is just too much now.I cant bear it any more, i have nothing left inside.
Sorry for the selfish whinge, i just dont know what to do with myself.
 
I really think you are entilted to a winge, what an horrendous thing to happen to your poor mare. And only 4 :( I'm so sorry. Be strong, its just **** really isn't it.
In the last 10 months I have lost both my dogs within a month of each other, the tortoise, two chickens, 3 pet rats and my beloved horse.

Good luck with the xrays, huge hugs. For what its worth you sound like an amazing owner who is ready to do the right thing. Huge hugs xxxxx
 
I agree with Buds_Mum ... you have been through more than enough in the last few months and totally justified in your whinge!

So sorry that you are potentially facing another loss. It's never easy, is it?

Pour yourself a large glass of vino tonight and have a good old therapeutic cry. Does wonders for the soul!

Here's to this being the last piece of sad news for you for the year *raises large glass of martini in salute*

Hugs

Oh no, that's so terrible, poor horse. :( No wonder you feel so down and helpless about it all.

*hugs*

I hope that you get your share of good luck (lots and lots) after all that you've been through recently.
 
I am really sorry for you. Sometimes bad luck sweeps over us and you just have to wait for it to pass. My worst year was 2010/11. Car accidents, two horses, 2 dogs. Lost 2 really good friends.
 
So sorry darling. Sending you hugest hugs.


All I'll say is, when you feel able, please talk to someone. I didn't, and I had a really cr*p time of it for a long while, until a friend saw through the facade I'd hidden behind. I lost my horse, my ovaries, my Mum, my dog, and in the meantime my new horse went wonky, all over a period of four months. By then I'd run out of tears and was totally drained.
 
Let yourself be miserable. You're allowed to be. Sometimes it's necessary. And give yourself that time - it's a lot easier to cope when you're not trying to be brave or strong. A week's worth of tears (or however long it takes) is much better than trying to cope for a year with the unspent grief weighing you down inside.
 
So sorry to hear that..you are more than justified to have a big winge/rant anything:-( I can totally empathise..I lost 10 in 8 months..Horse to EAM,sheep, goat and bottle lambs then my 15yr old dog I'd had from a pup..few months of peace, then Schmallenburg..then a dog attack on my nursing ewes..come spring I was looking at animals in fields expecting them to keel over/die..looking at frollicking lambs but seeing convulsions/fitting..sleeping lambs would be surely dead....it was awful.I am now paranoid! They do say livestock is deadstock which is a horribly hard but factual way to see it..take comfort in that you have given them the best life they could have and that they have known warmth, love & kindness. Enjoy the good memories & know they know it was not your fault. My lot seem to be into self harm at the mo but there is oly a limit to what you can do. Whether they are young or its old age, sudden or slowly drawing nearer all you can ever do is your best for them..if fate has it that is how they are meant to go, there is nothing you can do or not do to change it. Huge hug and as many positive thoughts as you can cope with, I will think of you and hope for good news x
 
*hugs* I know how you feel :( it's so awful. I've lost my cat, 2 horses, 4 friends and my Nan in the last 12 months :( (The horses weren't owned by me, but I rode them a lot)

Thinking of you and your horse! Fingers crossed <3
 
I'm so sorry you've had so much to deal with over such a short period. It would be enough to make the strongest person stagger. Thinking of you.
 
As other's have said you have a total right to have a whinge what a terrible time you have had.

I have some understanding of how you must be feeling. July 2010- July 2011 was a god awful year for me I had a horrendous near fatal accident off my horse and then lost both my beloved GSD's within 8 weeks of each other.

I hope this is the end of your bad luck - big hugs xxx
 
Aw what a horrible time youre having, it soul destroying when you lose animals you love, you let rip of you want mate and whinge away :( howled for over a week when we had to pts my dog last year, she was such a big part of my life and family, youre having an overload of stress and worry on top of grief, make sure you try to take care of yourself in the middle of it all, have a full on good howl if you need to ((( hugs )))
 
So sorry hear of all the troubles you have had and are still having. Hope the news today was not what you feared. The bad luck does seem to come in runs and like others on the thread we have had more than our share of deaths in the last few years. It got to a point where a friend insisted that this new years eve we didn't tell each other that this year had to be better, as over the last few years we have lost family members, horses long before their time and cats and dogs. It should get easier, but it never does. Please look after yourself.
 
well the vet xrayed and her bones were pracically coming out of her soles and her hoof walls were totally seperated. Vet has never seen anything like it.
Huntsman came out, i filled her with carrots, OH held her and she was gone. Cheeky right up to the end.
Ive not been well since, cant stop throwing up. think my body is showing i cant handle it more than my head.
Im so glad she is not in pain anymore, just cant believe shes not coming back.
:(
