I have booked dizzy in to be put to sleep. The vet was amazing while I cried down the phone.
It will be next Tuesday at 3pm and then the hunt will come and get her.

I now need to make sure she gets spoilt rotten with all those forbidden foods she has been unable to have.
 
oh hun I am so sorry - it toojk me three attempts to finish the phone call to vets and even longer to do the one to the crematorium - sleep tight dizz xx
 
It's a really tough one to pre book, I have only ever really done it as a response to a crisis. Make sure you have a good friend with you, and be nice to yourself for a while.
 
So sorry to hear this, it's obvious that you love her very much and will do whatever is best for her. She is lucky to have you as an owner. Hugs and tissues!
 
So sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you.
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk or a shoulder, I have been through something very similar.
 
Never an easy decision to make, and never easy to go through.

My vet was lovely when I was struggling to talk to make "the final call", he even arranged timings with the crematorium as I couldn't bring myself to make the call.

*hugs*
 
huge hugs Ami. Dizzy is lucky to have such a caring owner, heartbreaking for you but thank goodness she has you to make the right decision for her. Thinking of you x x
 
Oh bless you Sweetheart . . . you were very brave to make the decision - and then follow up with the call . . . be proud of yourself for being such a loving, responsible, unselfish owner . . . and spoil Dizzy in the few days you have left. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday - and I am sure many others on here will be too . . . big hugs.

It really is the hardest call to make, but hopefully when we are in the midst of a very cold and wet winter, you'll realise it was the only call you could make and that Dizzy will be running pain free over the rainbow bridge...
 
Thinking of you. The hardest decision, but you know when it is the right time. I think she is lucky to have such a caring owner to put her first. Remember she has no concept or fear of pts, she will just enjoy being spoilt and loved. xx
 
I remember when my OH told me he'd rang the vet to arrange a date for our boy, I sat and cried at my desk, it just seemed so final.

Thinking of you, you're making such a hard decision but putting the needs of your horse first and doing the very best for them xx
 
Sweetheart i made that phone call recently and held it together befire breaking down speaking to my vet. From my own experience i put the date out of my mind(not easy) and concentrated on the present day. yes i spoilt her with far to many apples and carrots and hugs but tried to keep my same routine where poss(to get my choice of vet i had to book a month in advance). Cry cuddle love hug or whatever you feel you want to do . You are so in my thoughts. please allow yourself some you time to allow your tears. i found it helped be be strong when the time came. please please remember you are not alone through this. so many are here to support you. love hugs and my thoughts to yo. my tears are falling for you x x x
 
Yes, it really is a hard call to make, you have taken the first step to ensuring your horse has a peaceful ending. It will be tough, but some day you will feel relief for your horse and look back with a smile. Big hugs, we have all been there xx
