Have made a very sad decision today.........

[charlie76]

I have decided that the time has come to have my horse PTS and it will be done within the next week.

After lots of time, patience and money he is still lame even on 2 bute a day and I feel I am just putting off the inevitable so the decision has been made.

Very sad, I have had him since he was 2 years old and he's only 12- no age at all.

I hope he understands why.

Poor you, I really feel for you. Im sure he will understand and thank you for it if he is uncomfortable.

What a horrible decision to have to make - but sounds like it's an enevitable one. Sounds like you're doing the right thing although it's never easy.

You have made the right choice, still a very very horrible time for you.

 

[riotgirl]

You are doing the right thing for your horse - even if you feel wretched for it.

 

[AmyMay]

So sorry to hear your sad news.

 

[Kelly1982]

I think your very brave and your horse is lucky to have you.

You are putting him first and thats what matters most x

I know how you feel we had our little one PTS 3 weeks ago due to cushings.

You know the time is right so don't doubt yourself. It is kinder to do it now before winter sets in and makes life more difficult.

Yes it will be upsetting but I don't regret my decision, it was the right thing for us both.

Huge hugs to you.

Totally agree with JM. I'm so sorry.

 

[TheresaW]

Very sorry to hear this. I too think you are very brave, and hope I will be too when the time comes.

 

[Tempi]

what a horrid decision, but i feel youve done the right thing and im sure he will understand.

 

[H-J]

I really feel for you, I had to make that decision a few weeks ago too and I thought the same I hope he understands but im sure they do. xx

 

[brighteyes]

Another responsible, sensible, caring owner doing the right thing. My thoughts are with you and your boy.

 

[Blizzard]

My thoughts are with you, twelve is no age, bless you for being unselfish enough to make the decision.

 

[Maesfen]

I don't think anyone can improve on what JM7 said but all the same, my thoughts are with you, it's a horrid decision to make - but the right one in his case.

As has been said, a wiser and more considerate owner, your horse could not wish for! It's an awful decision to have to make, but I do with that more horses had such compassionate owners!! You are in my thoughts!!

 

[Zebedee]

I can only echo what the others have already said, & add my admiration for your bravery & compassion.

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Very sad...... you have made your decision for the right reasons. Many people keep a horse going for the wrong reasons. You have put your horse's quality of life first & been very strong. You will feel terrible, that is understandable, but you decision is right.
So so sad.

I can only echo what others have said, my sympathy and best wishes go to you
