Sorry to read this. RIP little one

How horrible for you so sorry that things ended this way for all of you x RIP little pony.

 

[cauda equina]

I am so sorry

 

[Spoiled cob]

I'm so sorry to read your update xx

Thank you, just shocked. She was only 8 and was the more robust pony. Can’t believe it happened and so quickly. Also

So very sorry to hear this, such a shock. Poor little mite, makes you wonder what was going on, something pretty catastrophic that is for sure. Hope her brother is coping.

he was with her so seems to have processed it but is calling on and off. I think so, her brother is the one that’s colicky so it’s a big shock. If it was him I could understand it. I’m so careful and their management stays the same so I’m at a loss as to the cause. I was so hoping she would come through it. the vet just said to keep the pain meds up and reassess this morning to give her a chance but I wish I’d made the call to PTS, never thought that would happen to her

Please don't blame yourself, there must have been more going on than pain relief could deal with. So sorry you lost her.

Oh gosh I am so sorry you have lost her. RIP

 

[nagblagger]

I am so sorry, but take comfort that you kept her comfortable and pain free, checking on her regularly throughout the night- which some people wouldn't have done. Thinking of you..

 

[AmyMay]

Really sorry for your loss ?

 

[vmac66]

So sorry. Run free little one

 

[Squeak]

So sorry to read this update, what a terrible shock. It sounds like you did everything you could and had no way of knowing that she would pass away before the vet was back.

 

[Rumtytum]

What a terrible shock, I’m so sorry for you. RIP little girl.

 

[Fjord]

I'm so sorry, I hope you and her brother are OK x

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

I am so sorry but please don't blame yourself, you did all you could do.

It probably won't help you right now but my friend lost one of her minis in a very similar way, her vet said unfortunately he had experienced losing minis unexpectedly as sometimes their little hearts give out with even a relatively mild colic or even lammi episode.

At least she was at home with her brother and had not had to experience the stress of being traveled for a very risky operation. I really am sorry ?

Sorry to hear this update SC, i echo everyone else , you really were doing all you could. There’s never any knowing if in a couple of hours the episode will pass or suddenly turn for the worst. That knife-edge of colic experience, its so hard. You were diligent with checks and pain meds, and she had her friend near her, so she passed away in her familiar favourite place.

I had to rush my old dog to the vets for PTS as he deteriorated very quickly suddenly and seizures occurred. We’re very rural and i knew the vet would take double the time to get here (sunday night 11pm!) as it would take us to get to them, and despite it all being quick, shocking and upsetting the only thing that really upset me was him not being PTS stress free at home in familiar surroundings.

big virtual hugs to you and the little boy mini…..hope he settles better as the days pass. ?

So sorry you lost her. How sad for you and her brother. RIP little one.

I am sorry to hear your sad update. Colic is awful. X

 

[Spoiled cob]

Thank you all for your kind words, Fred is doing ok, he calls every now and then but he knows she’s gone. We left him with her until she was collected and then put him back in the stable so he knew and had closure. Shes being individually cremated so she can come home, my dear old Harry is in the tack room so I’ll put her with him. It’s been an awful year, I lost my aunt to cancer, she suffered so much at the end and it was very traumatic, freeze lost his eye to a rare genetic condition and may end up completely blind and I lost my 2 little guinea pigs. I can’t imagine a life without animals but the pain of losing them is horrendous.
