I lost my beautiful little chap to colic last night and my heart is breaking

[horseymummy]

When I went to fetch my little chap in yesterday I realised he was not well. Very sweaty, laboured breathing, kicking his belly etc. Callled the vet who came out quickly and diagnosed colic, gave him several injections, which seemed to calm him and perk him up. Stayed with him until 10pm when he took a turn for the worse, vet came and tried everything possible (he wouldnt consider sending for surgery he thought his odds were almost zilch). At 11.15 I lost my boy, it feels like my heart is going to break. I have had him nearly seventeen years. Apart from a couple of epsiodes of mild choke a few years ago he has never been sick or sorry.Yesterday morning he was playing with his friends and now he is gone.
My vet was wonderful and was there 2 hours, he just sat on his vet box in the stable and just waited whilst i said goodbye.
Run free my beautiful funny lad.

Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

I am so, so sorry. What a complete shock. However, I'm glad you were able to be with him in his time of need, knowing how much he was loved.
Your vet was marvellous, well done to him too. Sometimes, these professionals go the extra mile to help and its so appreciated.

RIP dear boy,

How heartbreaking and shocking.

These colics that carry them off just come out of nowhere. I have photos of my lovely young mare taken one summer's evening, she looks fabulous, very happy and normal. But by the following morning we had lost her.

I am so sorry you lost your lovely horse.

How awful for you. You did your best for him, but sometimes there is no way to save them. So sorry.
