on sunday morn after ten years together i had to have my wonderfull girl pts.
She was kicked in the field on thurs. Got vet out straight away, there was only a small cut but to much swelling
to tell much else. was given painkillers and antib's. couldnt believe the difference fri and by sat was almost back to normal.

When i arrived sun morn i knew somthin was up straight away, as she was sweaty and shaking i could see this before i even opened her door. My poor girl was on 3 legs with one the size of a balloon, i knew straight away what was wrong. called vet and tried to keep her settled by talkin to her. Vet arrived and said the words id been dreadin "theres nothin i can do" I asked for a few minutes alone and told her i loved her and was sorry that this had happened to her. She was in so much pain that at the time i just wanted the pain to stop for her. Vet done his bit and was quite peacefull.
Just cant believe it now i feel totally sick, cant believe im never gonna see her wee face again. Just tryin to console myself with the fact she had a great life and i couldnt have loved her anymore than i did.
RIP beautiful girl x
 
So sorry. At least you sent her on her way with all the love you had and you will see her at the bridge. Hugs xxx
 
That is heartbreaking and has brought me to tears. Having almost lost my own girl of ten years with a broken shoulder and living each day wondering if this would be the day, I can really appreciate what you are going through. Was there an infection in the joint?
 
I lost my boy like this in December, it's a horrible thing to happen and I'm truly soorry for your loss. RIP little horse, sleep well xxx
 
Oh gosh, I'm so very sorry, that's left me with a huge lump in my throat, can't imagine how you must feel right now (well I can) but you know what I mean, take comfort in the fact that she spent 10 years with someone who loved her so much, she'll of known you where there to take the pain away in the end.

RIP x


(((hugs)))
 
wagtail she fractured her tibia, vet said she was doin ok as she hadnt lay down. soon as she went down the fragments of bone seperated.

thanks everyone for your kind words! x

That's exactly what happened to my boy, his held for 3 weeks (he was barely lame) until he displaced it. Massive hugs to you, it's a horrible thing to have to go through xxx
 
So sorry, that was a very upsetting way to lose a horse too. At least you were there for her and did the right thing. (((hugs))) RIP little horse x
 
Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry. I know exactly how you are feeling at the moment. I lost my old 29 yr old racehorse Bob on Monday to colic. Life is so cruel sometimes. My heart goes out to you, I know I am devastated, and I know you will be too. You are in my thoughts
Love and hugs xxxxxxxx
