Goodbye my girl.

[Farcical1]

Some of you were kind enough to offer suggestions when I was querying why my horse may have had a change in stance and become narrow behind.
She had her hocks injected but unfortunately this didn't work, so today she went to the vets for further investigations. It wasn't good news.
She had major damage to the hind suspensories on both legs and compensatory changes to her back. She is being put to sleep tomorrow.

Oh god that is awful, I haven't read your other posts but had to reply to say sending you hugs and so very sorry for you. God bless. x

 

[Meredith]

Sending you the biggest hugs. You are a brave and loving owner.

 

[MyDappledConnemara]

That is awful. You are very brave to make that decision, it was definitely the right one. God bless you.

So sorry for you. I'm going through something similar with my girl at the moment, although haven't started any investigations yet but I have that same niggling feeling in the back of my mind :-(

Me too I'm dreading having to make 'that' decision but my girl has facet joint degeneration and I suspect this is not the whole story as we just can't get her comfortable enough despite treatment. Back off to vets on 21st which will be Dday. You are very brave OP and I hope tomorrow goes peacefully for both of you.

Hope tomorrow goes well, thinking of you

Thank you all. I have left her at the vets and they will see her off tomorrow. I had already decided that I wouldn't bring her back if it was bad news. It would just mean more stress for her and me.
I had a feeling it was not going to be good news. She had the last six weeks not being worked and was obviously deteriorating. I could tell she wasn't comfortable and could see no reason to prolong that.
Now to see if the insurance will pay out. I don't care if they won't, I wasn't going to prolong things.

For those of you with niggly feelings that things aren't right, trust your instincts.

So sorry for you. Your mare is lucky to have had such an intuitive and loving owner. You are doing the best for her xx

 

[Mariposa]

So sorry, it's never easy but what a lucky mare to be so loved that you are making the right decision for her. It's never easy, you have my sympathy, thinking of you.

 

[olop]

Big hugs to you, so very sorry xx

I'm so very sorry.

For those of you with niggly feelings that things aren't right, trust your instincts.

This is such good advice, especially when you have known the animal for a long time so know what is 'normal' for them.
