She had to make a devastating decision this evening. My heart goes out to her. No horse owner should have to go through this. Huge hugs hun! Be strong for the others xx
 
I dont know what her decision is about but i follow her posts with interest and her love of her horses shines through. So what ever the problem is I wish her kind thoughts and hugs if needed.
 
Yes, I mean Jane. It's heartbreaking and it's for her to say. I just know that she will really appreciate the thoughts and virtual hugs of her friends on here. She's been through so much, this is just the icing on the cake really. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger and all that, but this is the pits, the poor kid.
 
Thanks SN. For those who want to know I had to make the heartbreaking decision tonight to have Tam (Esquimaux Zed) pts. I got to the yard this afternoon to find him colicking and called vet....by time vet got there me and a friend were having to pin him down as was thrashing about. Vet did all he could but his small intestine was completely twisted and swollen and his heart rate nearly 100 and so the only option for him was to pts. I am completely devastated and heartbroken as that poor horse has pulled through most than most do in a lifetime and was still such a happy little boy and I will never stop missing him, but I had to do what is best for him. The worst part for me is still to come as no one could come dispose of the body tonight and so I have to sort tomorrow morning. What was completely gut wrenching was that his best mate, Felix the yard cat, immediately curled up with him when he was pts.
 
Not enough words to express how sorry I am. I really hope that knowing there are so many people thinking of you will go some way to helping you get through today.

RIP handsome.
 
Thank you guys for all your thoughts...I know it was the right thing as surgery wasn't an option for him but it is small consolation....but I could never make him suffer....I have always been of the opinon that you have to able to love them enough to let them go and not make them suffer.

We are all just devastated here by this as not only was it so unexpected but he really was a truly special boy that anyone who met fell in love with. I just keep thinking that he knew as whilst sedated but just before he was pts he woke up and gave us all big hugs and kisses, being incredibly loving and just put his head in my arms for a hug as he always did when he wanted cuddles. The poor boy never had a chance with everything that got thrown at him but he fought his hardest through it all and came right but this was just one too many....even though he fought as hard as he could through it. I just think he was too good for this world he was so special.
