RIP Pharaoh :'(

[Swift08]

Pharaoh's uveitis flared up on saturday so today he went into hospital for tests today and they basically confirmed what I had already thought was wrong. I can't remember the exact wording but it was an auto immune disorder that caused his rig scar to swell and his eye to flare up, probably triggered by the rig op somehow They are going to run his bloods and do a post mortem for research purposes and I think send them off to prof. knottenbelt as it is so rare. We have fought this condition for 3 years now but he had got so bad that I could no longer ride him as he was lacking condition and coughed so much so it was likely that his organs were failing anyway.
The staff were brilliant and I lead him to a nice grassy patch where he had a bit of grass (he was sedated at the time anyway) and as I brought his head up so he could be injected he struck out like he does when he's not getting his own way! It happened so quickly and i'm really happy with how it was handled which has made me feel better about it all. He was only 7 which is no age at all but there was no way I would want him to be in more pain like he would have been and hopefully he will go on to help other horses
RIP little man, now you can eat all the grass you want!!! xx

So sorry to hear this! I know exactly how you feel, my little mare was PTS on Thursday.

Big hugs to you all! R.I.P Pharaoh.

Something that made me smile a little when my mare was PTS:

"Time has taken me from you, although not far. I'll be watching through the sunshine and through the brightest star."

So sad I lost my boy to this after a 10 year chronic case that suddenly took a turn for the worse, leaving us with no choice (hugs). Like you, I was relieved in a way as I knew there no recovery possible. So sad.
