diagnosis please-on a postcard!

Very sad. Evil vets for allowing it to be covered as well as the owners.

god, that poor mare.... the extra weight of carrying the foal wont have helped either.... she should have been pts asap, not used as a fecking machine. the things people will do for money! i feel sick actually.

Jeezus Mairi!! Poor mare!!

I don't think that would happen even HERE!

Oh, hang on... maybe it would...

*whistles* This was in Italy? Yes? No? Seeing some of the farriery that has come over here, from there, on some of the TB's..................

 

[jesterfaerie]

Surley any vets that would have seen they horse may have thought it would have been better to put her to sleep?

 

[kerilli]

that is one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen. shame on the owner, trainer, stud manager, vets... how horrifically painful for the poor mare. the people want shooting before the horse, imo.

the best part is that this mare has bin breed from and has raced in earlier years so l cant see how it is a birth deformity

 

[only_me]

yes, we know that is isnt a birth deformity - maria said that basically her tendons blew. we are all shocked that it was then bred from and then dumped after the owners could find no use for it.

I forgot to say that Jessie was onto her third foal when I met her

. The vet was doing his best to convince the owner to have her put down and actually managed 'not' to have her covered by 'mistake'

. We had an Irish TB stallion standing in the clinic and funny enough'he didnt seem to notice that Jessie W was in season'

. My boss did his best and was even trying to organise a 'heart attack' but sadly the owner sent his truck and driver for her without giving us any warning

. I hope she didnt last too long after she left us. Mairi.

Wow, someone else has seen Italian shoeing and foot care

Awful, isnt it!
