PTS

[nicelittle]

Well, having tried absolutely everything, we have had to make the decision to put our pony to sleep.
The date is Tuesday. This weekend has been horrible. I can't stop bursting into tears. I can't really talk about it with work colleagues as they don't understand. I've even had one 'horsey' lady trying to persuade me to take him to our local rescue centre! I was quite disgusted to be honest.
So, Tuesday he will go to the big field in the sky, via our local hunt, which is the only method for a needle phobic vet shy pony.
Just needed to tell someone who would understand x

Doing right for the pony, no matter how hard it is for you. Take care of yourself.. x

 

[nicelittle]

Thank you both x

It is very hard for you, but not for him. Thinking of you. x

I know exactly how you're feeling - went through this myself only 6 weeks ago. The waiting is unbearable. Wishing you courage and strength for Tuesday.

You are doing the right thing. I went through similar with mine. Apparently he shouldn't have been PTS as he was only 6. Didn't matter that hi pedal bones were about to come through his soles, he was only 6! At the time it just went over my head as I was so upset and felt like such a failure, but now I feel really annoyed by other peoples stupidity!

The waiting is the worst. You are in a no mans land sort of limbo. Once its done you can start the process of grieving and it will get better over time. I miss my boy still but I am so very glad that I was able to make the decision before it was too late and he ended up in agony.

 

[Pinkvboots]

Your doing the right thing my thoughts are with you x

 

[Remi'sMum]

Sending hugs. Hardest thing in the world x

 

[Griffin]

As other posters have said, the waiting is the worst. Big hugs.

A tough call but the right choice. Much fuss between now and then.

Thinking of you. It's so hard, but comfort yourself in the knowledge your little pony will be pain free. Treasure your fond memories. Take care.

 

[southerncomfort]

Very sorry to hear this. Will be thinking of you on Tuesday.

 

[splashgirl45]

[Gloi]

I feel for you, I know I need to have my old pony PTS before too long as his teeth are failing and he struggled last winter despite remedial dentistry and soft food. I just keep putting it off as at the moment he is still eating grass and fat but winter is on the way

 

[poiuytrewq]

Such a hard call and tough wait.
Hugs coming your way xx

 

[PetalPower]

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said so just a big hug xx

 

[View]

Big hugs; it's always a hard time, so be kind to yourself.

 

[BSL]

The hardest thing for us to do as owners. I still have a cry for all 4 wonderful horses I have had through my 52 years. But they are at peace. Thinking of you.

 

[Frumpoon]

Brave and selfless, it will hurt you a lot more than it will hurt him

Thinking of you

 

[nicelittle]

Thank you all, I feel a bit better this evening, the farrier came and took his shoes off, he had quite a job as C did not want to bend his hind legs, and was tail swishing vertically and looking very uncomfortable, makes me see it is definitely the right thing to do. After my daughter said her goodbyes, which was awful, I feel a bit more set about what's to come tomorrow.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Sending hugs for tomorrow. The waiting is the worst bit.

[YorksG]

Thoughts are with you for tomorrow.

 

[pepsimaxrock]

so sad - thinking about you, incredibly brave xx

 

[Pinkvboots]

You will be in my thoughts tomorrow I know it's horrible but you will feel a sense of relief afterwards, try to remember what a lovely life his had and think of all the good times x

 

[Dave's Mam]

Big bucket of carrots, a big hug for him.

An even bigger hug for you. You will be in my heart tomorrow. Be kind to yourself, you're doing the best & bravest thing. Huge love to you.

 

[ponyparty]

Thoughts with you today echoing what the others have said - you're doing the best thing for him. Doesn't make it any less heartbreaking, I know x
