Mare died this afternoon.

Wow. thats terrible.
i would have thought if their mare had a history of bleeding then they would have had her scoped which would have shown up the GP mycosis.
Iv seen one die of this same condition and it was a truelly horrible experience. Im sorry you have had to go through this too. xx
 
i am so sorry i know how you are feeling i lost my mare sunday only 4 days ago my heart goes out to you star will look after you ulla.X
 
What a traumatic way to go.You must be really traumatised having to witness the poor girl go in that awful way.
I was a vet nurse overseas for many years, a lot of the time here we don't realise how lucky we are in a small country with most areas having a choice of vets.At least the vet got there as fast as she could so you weren't totally alone for the whole horrific scenario.With blood pressure that low there would have been absolutely nothing that could have been done, except to have shot her and that isn't always possible.

I know you're so upset now, understandably,but Ulla had a fantastic 3 month retirement with you,I know it's hard but try to make yourself think of that,it might help to cancel out the horrific images for you a little, I hope so.

Sending you support and tlc. RIP Ulla xxx
 
So sorry for your loss, hun. <hugs>
Such a tragic end, but from the sound of it there would be nothing that the vet could have done, even if they had been there sooner.
Poor lass, RIP.
 
How horrible for you and for the horse to take so long to go. There was nothing you could have done to change it though and you know that for the last few months of her life you gave her the best possible retirement.
 
I'm so sorry for you. Because there was such a large blood loss she must have been oxygen deprived I'm sure she wouldn't have been properly aware of what was happening. It must have been terribly traumatic for you. Again very very sorry.
 
So sorry

What an awful thing to cope with.
One of our mares had suspected stomach cancer and the foal had been induced early, three weeks later she too went down like your mare but blood poured out the other end, huge clots and puddles of it. like you there was little I could do but comfort her with my presence. It was obvious she was in great pain and the vet arrived within 20 mins but I felt guilty everafter.
Sometimes you can't do anything, and for both of us, we did what we could by the sounds of things.
The mare will have been aware she wasn't alone and felt a tide of sympathy from you even if you couldn't help the pain.
At least she died with someone and you did everything you could.
Sometimes having horses is very painful for humans I reckon.
 
What a terrible experience for you and what a sad end for poor Ulla Belle. You did everything that you could, what a shame the vet took so long. RIP Ulla Belle xx
