UPDATE on mare pacing the fence. :-(

previous thread http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=462883

Well it seemed we were winning and she was breaking the pacing and weaving and grazing and seeming more calm, she was on acp and brumide also. This morning she was stuck to the spot weaving. Completely unresponsive, the vet came out at 2pm and clinicly they could not find a thing wrong with her. The vet explained you can spend thousands trying to find out what was wrong and still be no further ahead. He believed it was neurological due to the pattern of behaviour. The decision was made to have her PTS to end the suffering. At 8 years old its no life for a horse. she was laid to rest in a field full of grass and the sun shining. Rest in peace beautifal mare. xx

Thank you for the support and advice at the time. it was much appreciated. x

Very sorry to read this. What a sad thing to happen. Sounds like the right decision though

 

[JingleTingle]

So sorry to read this - but Im sure it was the only decision that could be made. RIP little mare.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I'm so sorry. Poor, poor mare, she was clearly in a bad way. It was the right decision to PTS, given her symptoms.

 

[china]

thankyou every one. Her owner is ovbiously in pieces. It was such a quick deteriation, no one expected anything like this to happen. Shes at rest now though.

 

[Twinkle Twinkle]

Oh sweetie thinking of you sending ((((BIG HUGS)))).

 

[Jane1706]

How devastating for her owner so sorry about this horrible outcome.

 

[joeanne]

Poor mare. But brave owner doing what was right for her.
Are they going to do a PM and see whether there was an underlying cause?

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

How sad but obviously the correct decision.
It would certainly seem that the poll injury had far-reaching effects. RIP.

i dont think so no. She had a poll injurie and a fair few head injurys in her time. Smacking her head on the stable door frame for one! it was prety safe to say it was nuerological of some kind.

 

[MochaDun]

I'm so sorry for her and her owner and those like you who knew her, what a sad outcome at that age but best and kindest thing for her. RIP.

 

[Vickijay]

Thats terribly sad, poor mare

 

[caterpillar]

Sorry to hear this.

Well done for acting on it, many would have ignored the signs that something was wrong.

 

[diddydavies]

Difficult decision but the correct one, she is at peace now.

[Squeak]
