I have decided to have my gorgeous much loved boy pts
He’s on 2 bute a day and I notice recently not joining in the play or canter over for hay.
keeps resting a hind leg which he never has before.
Had a terrible cough, steroids stop it. Ventipulmin doesn’t touch it. However you can’t long term give steroids and bute.
last summer I alternated. He coughed, we gave steroids, got sore we swapped to bute and so on. It worked.
This year I can’t stop the bute but he needs the steroids. My vet has agreed to give both very short term.
For me and him this means the end can be pain free and easy breathing, this means his old owner can come hug him and that he has a really nice last few weeks. That’s how I want to remember him.
OH on the other hand is going to be so hard to tell. He will make me feel awful.
Its the right decision I think.
OH is very much keep going til the bitter end, I did that once and the guilt is huge.
I’ve messaged his old owners tonight so they can come and see him happy but telling OH is killing me. It’s so hard ?
