Rest in peace little Max.

[RubysGold]

I'm so sorry :-(
I cannot imagine how you feel now. You tried so hard! That foal was so so lucky though, he got to be loved and was happy for those days before he passed.

 

[ihatework]

How awful and tragic, poor little max and poor you. Take care of yourself x x

 

[Pen]

Tragic but you could have done no more for the darling boy. He looked so happy in your vid. You and your partners commitment and care gave him the very best chance of life. Look after yourself now.

 

[PorkChop]

Oh no, what a shock, you did all you could, sending you a hug x

 

[Clodagh]

I'm so sorry. He knew nothing but love.

 

[splashgirl45]

so sorry for you GG, after your own heartbreak max seemed like a lifeline for you and your mare....you and dan did everything you could for him. please look after yourself....

 

[Nativelover]

So sorry to read this GG, you get some well deserved rest, and Dan too.
Little Max found great love and dedication with you, and he knew nothing of his end. No suffering which is something to be thankful for. You did a great job, take care both of you.

 

[Cecile]

I'm so sorry to read this. Take good care of yourself as you must be emotionally exhausted

 

[MotherOfChickens]

I am sorry, sometimes having animals is just so hard and unfair.

 

[On the Hoof]

I'm so gutted for you both and the little man. You worked so tirelessly for him and he was so loved for a few days. Sending you the biggest hugs. Xxxx. RIP Max

 

[Nikki26]

I am so sorry. Life is so very unfair at times. What a lucky boy he was so know such love and dedication. xx

 

[LadySam]

Oh no. GG I'm so, so sorry. Take care.

 

[AdorableAlice]

Oh no, I have just got home and immediately looked for your update, what a shame and I am so sorry for you all. RIP little man, at least you knew kindness and no fear despite very few days of life. GG and family, be proud of your efforts you all did your best.

 

[claracanter]

Oh that's so sad. Poor little boy. Take care of yourself. Something good will come out of this

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

So very very sad for you xxxxx

 

[Mosh]

I am so sorry for your loss. Life is so cruel. Max had a lovely 6 days with you where he was loved and cared for and he never felt a thing at the end. He went in someone he trusted arms and I wish every creature could have a life like max.
It was nearly perfect however short it was.
Hugs xx

 

[Fidgety]

I'm so very sorry GG xx.

 

[Tyssandi]

poor little man such a cute little chap with his whole life ahead, Rip little man and run free over the rainbow gutted for you all

 

[Dave's Mam]

Night night Max. I don't have the words to say what I want to say.

 

[Fools Motto]

So so unfair. So sorry GG, but thank you so much for all the time and effort you and Dan have put into looking after the wee man, and sharing part of that journey with us. Keep playing up there little Maxy. x

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I hope the little mare copes with it all ok. Must be hard on her losing her own then her foster baby too. RIP Max.

 

[numptynoelle]

What a shame, I'm so sorry GG.

 

[GirlFriday]

I hope the little mare copes with it all ok. Must be hard on her losing her own then her foster baby too. RIP Max.

This. As a mother without her baby at present (tl;dr and anyway non-horsey) I can feel for the mother( figure)(s) of this foal with all numbers of legs.

Not OP (or anyone else's really) fault that separating mums and babies is a lousy outcome. I've tried bottle feeding abandoned babies before (different four legged species) and TBH not sure I'd want to again. But equally the alternative is unpalatable.

Best wishes.

 

[Mariposa]

I am so so sorry to read this - my thoughts are with you all.

I've not heard of a foal having an allergic reaction ( our chestnut filly Paloma had to have plasma due to her early arrival ) - I am so sorry, sending my deepest sympathy to you x

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh no, sorry to hear this. You did everything you could to give him a chance and Jakki a foal to care for.

Now it is time to look after yourself. ((HUGS))

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Oh, I'm so sorry, they are so fragile at that age. For whatever reason, it just wasn't meant to be, maybe his dam knew - they often do. Poor Jakki, too. Fortunately mares are usually pretty down to earth.

 

[ozpoz]

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this. What a rollercoaster you have had, you must be exhausted. Look after yourself, you did everything you could and more. x

 

[Wagtail]

Oh hell. I am so sorry, GG. This is so upsetting. So sad. RIP little man. You may have been on this earth for a very short time but you were a very bright flame. Gutted for you, GG.

 

[SEL]

Oh no i am so, so sorry. Xxx

 

[Durhamchance]

I'm so sorry and totally gutted for you. Life is so unfair sometimes. I hope you can get some rest GG and know that you did everything you possibly could xx
