I can't believe tonight just happened. My friend is away on holiday (she never goes away, hates to leave her two ponies) and tonight I had to call the vet to put the little one to sleep. She came in from the field a very very sick little girl, staggering in circles around the stable, pressing her head against the walls and foaming at the mouth, straining to breathe. Then fitting on the floor. I won't describe exactly what it was like but I don't ever want to see a pony go through that again. Vet diagnosed liver failure with no hope of survival. So she's gone. How on earth we tell her owner I don't know, she doted on them. Id like to write a much more emotional post that does the cheeky monkey justice, but I think my brain is stuck in practical mode and the tears haven't hit properly yet. Rest now little'un, we'll make sure your big friend is ok.
