Just like the song says - still I cant let go.
Took Sasha and Ebi to the vets this morning for further vet treatment and its not good news on either of them really but whats upsetting me most is the fact that weve got to look at putting Sasha down sooner than we thought. I had hoped she would have 1 more winter with us then she would bt PTS next Spring but it looks as though she may not see this spring let alone the beginning of this summer.
Its horrid news. Both her stifles have got boney changes, the right hind being the worse affected. She was in agony whilst the vet carefully examined her and took exrays. She tried her best through the aneasthetic being put into the area around her stifle joints but its was hurting too much. She was as good as gold for the full injections of steroid and joint fluid but I could see that she was in pain.
I dont want to let her go but I know I must. Ive enjoyed so many years with her even though she has been an out and out bitch at times. Shes caused me accidents when ive broken bones, but she taught me so much. Im going to miss her so much. Its not going to be the same going to the field and her not being there. Her not putting the rest of the girls in there place.
This is the last chance for her as the vet doesnt think that there is much point in carrying on with the treatment after this as its so bad. I think if we had asked him to PTS there and then he wouldve.
I feel so guilty in putting her through it but I just want to give it one more chance. Apart from this she looks well in herself for a 20yo pony.
Sorry for whining on but just want to talk to someone.
