Harry update

[Cazza525]

He has been getting increasingly worse over weekend, and could barely move over towards his breakfast this morning (he is in field, well rugged as not able to get him down to stables). Called vet immediately who came up to field. Gave him Finadyne injection in vein which should last 24hrs, but she has also left me with finadyne paste which she says i can administer 12hourly. He did seem to buck up mentally after jab, but is still not really moving around and unable to put back leg down at all.
He is having all his hay being taken too him in field, which he is eating. He is being attended to 2 hourly.
Basically it is not fair to keep him like this, we would not keep a dog or cat like it. Basically it is purely palliative care now and vet is coming again on Wednesday to reasses. He is unable to stay on finadyne any more than 5 days as it causes the liver and kidneys to stop functioning.
Vet has agreed that if she is unable to beome field sound then he must be PTS.
I will update this post regularly to let you all know his progress.
I hope someone looks after my horses that I have sold over the years in this calm and dignified way.
Myself and my YM are attending to his every need. X

Hope he gets better soon, at least he has a good owner.

He does not belong to me.......owner was unable to deal with his problems. He was delivered to me last Wednesday.

You, sound like you are doing an amazing job...hope the outcome is a good one but if it isnt then like you say , you will know in your heart of hearts that you gave it your best shot.
He was destined to find you. positive vibes from here

My heart goes out to you. At least in his final hours he will have some one brave enough to make the toughest decision and compassionate enough to be there when he slips away. xx

Hope he perks up soon.

Will keep fingers crossed for a positive outcome following your TLC - but if it doesn't work out at least you will know that you have done your absolute best for him and given him a chance. ((((hugs))))
