Farewell to a special friend...

[Rambo]

Many of you will remember Bo...he had been suffering from COPD the past 18 months or so and had been gradually deteriorating to the point where i took the decision to retire him a few weeks before christmas. Despite steroids, supplements and management changes he just couldn't fight off the wretched disease which took away his ability to do the things he loved.....jump, school and hack.

Yesterday, just a few weeks into his retirement, he collapsed in the field with his best mate of the past 4 years looking over him. They managed to get him up and back into his stable....but he was too weak and went down again....where he stayed. He was only twelve years old

He had gone off his food a couple of days earlier....although he was still more than happy to scoff the polo's and carrots i offered him the night before. The vet thinks his heart gave out due to the strain of trying to get enough oxygen. He seemed happy enough in the morning according to the girls who turned him out...but the damage was invisible.

RIP my special man...

Really sad to read this Rambo, I've followed your posts on Bo with interest over the years and I always hoped he'd recover - as you must have done. Very sad loss at such a young age but he didn't suffer and his friend was with him which would have been a comfort.

Im so sorry Rambo RIP Bo

 

[Gamebird]

Of course we remember Bo, and I'm very sorry to hear your news. I loved to hear about him and it's nice to hear from you again, though I'd have wished for better circumstances.

If he was as bad as you say perhaps it's better from him that he went now, relatively quickly, than struggled on for another 5 or 10 years without the ability to do anything he really loved.
