So sorry to hear this, you seemed to have such a bond with him. You have been so brave for him the last few days and must remember that you have done the right thing for him by letting him go.
((( Hugs)))
Im so so sorry FMN, i have been reading your posts over the last few days and hoped that he would make a full recovery. Take comfort in the fact that you treated him like a king and did all you could for him. He was an absolute credit to you.
I just can't believe this - I am so sorry. It was a privilege to meet Dermot and he was obviously a very happy and much loved horse, it is such a shock this has happened. I am glad that the end of his short life was with you and I hope he is now pain free and at peace. If you want to PM me your address I'll send you a CD with all the photos I took at the show.
I hope you are ok, be strong and take comfort from the fact you gave him every chance.
Gosh, how sad, I thought he had a chance yesterday but it seems you tried everything you could. Thinking of you, it must be very difficult to lose one so young.
So sorry to hear your news FMN, take comfort in the fact you did all you could for the little man and remember the good times you had together. RIP Dermot. xxxx
Such desperately sad news - there will be an ache in your heart that only time, loving family and good friends can heal. Dermot was a horse that I had always admired on the forum and your love and care for him shone through in all your posts. Life has some very cruel twists and turns but I hope that you will be able to treasure the all too short time that you had with him.
I am so so so sorry, i've only just read this, and i don't know what to say. I'm in tears, he didn't deserve this as he was so special and just a lovely lovely horse.
All i can say is that he had the best owner who loved him dearly, who gave him a fantastic life and did the best for him.
HUGE hugs to you, if you ever need to talk please PM me.
FMN, I really am very sad to read this terrible news. You must be so upset and I do feel for you. Saying, you did the right thing, seems somewhat lame, however you honestly did. I hope Dermot is galloping free up there in a beautiful pasture but that pasture will always remain a part of your heart.
