Teddy's Last Update (severe hindgut issues)

[stilltrying]

A sad thread, but I just wanted to post to say thank you to everyone who offered advice on the previous threads about Teddy and his hindgut problems. Unfortunately he didn’t respond at all to his latest round of treatment and his owner made the heart-breaking decision to have him put down this week.

It is such a shame, particularly given his age, but he was clearly suffering and appeared to be deteriorating. He wasn’t holding any condition, walking to and from his field was an effort and he was becoming increasingly dangerous to handle.

So RIP Teddy Head…here is a pic of him before he was poorly:

It sounds like you have done so much for him. Take solace from that. Sending hugs, loss is never easy.

You both did so much for him, it's an awful condition and I wish it was better understood. Another hug from me xxx

Thanks everyone. : ) He was a very poorly chap, but it does seem as though more attention is being paid to this condition, just a little too late for him x
