First time I have read this post. I am so sorry for your loss she looked a lovely foal. Well done for being brave about making the right chose.

You did everything you could for her including making the difficult decision at the right time.

Big hugs

Thankyou for all your comments, I can't stop crying x

I'll lend you for a little while, my Grandest Foal God said,
For you to love while she's alive, and mourn for when she's dead.
It may be one, or twenty years.
Or days or months, you see.
But will you 'till I take her back,
take care of her for me?
She'll bring you charms to gladden you,
and should her stay be brief,
You'll have those treasured memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
with trust I've selected you.
Now, will you give her all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to take her home again?
I know you'll give him tenderness,
and love will bloom each day,
And for the happiness you've known,
you will forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for her
much sooner than you planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and maybe understand

Lisa,

sometimes the hardest decisions are the best ones. You've done the right thing. Poor you and poor foal.

Alec.

Lisa,
Words are never enough at times like this but be proud of what you have done for her. ]You conuldn't have done anymore.

I haven't read all the posts but what about shockwave therapy? I don't know where you are based but there are some equine vets around who do it. Also get your farrier to look at her and discuss shoeing her with extensions. Good luck.
I have just read the posts (I was on the first page so missed the posts above) - I am sorry to hear you had her PTS. Very sad for you and all involved.

 

[kerilli]

Aces_High, you really should have read all the last few posts because then you would have known that she had to have the foal pts.
So sorry for your loss, Lisa.

Beautiful poem, hope you are your mare are doing ok x thinking of you

 

[lisa_dundee]

It's ok Aces High and thanks for everyone's input, cassie is coping surprisingly well, she isn't distressed, she looks sad and depressed but I think she knew before us, I think she knew when she was born as just after she had her she never once tried to get the foal up and cassie is a very attentive mare and usually nipping their bums to get them up feeding x

After losing another foal yesterday I feel I should warn anyone using Thuja for sarcoids

Please click on the link and read my thread on the other forum

Thuja may not be what killed my foal but it is a possibility

 

[Hurricanelady]

Lisa so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful foal in such sad circumstances, thinking of you and her mum at this difficult and upsetting time
