after a long and horrible few weeks m horse has been officially pronounced as broken :( I had decided to have her put down a couple of weeks ago but got called away with work and I finally have all the results back from everything she has had done. I have decided that come hell or high water she will be leaving me on Wednesday next week (screw work for once :( )

She has navicular changes in both front feet (currently active ) ,pedal osteitis in both fronts, damage to her superspinious ligament, kissing spines (8 areas of active bone growth with 2 further of non active/suspicious areas) ,si joint damage,damage to both proximal hind suspensories, changes in both hocks and mild changes to one fetlock joint.

I can't believe she is going at the age of 9 :'(
 
I know how you feel, I had mine PTS, two weeks age he was only six, also had more than one issue, we have to do right by them whatever there age, just makes us feel like @***% . :(
 
Oh golly, your poor mare, that's a long list of problems. It must be heartbreaking for you, but it really sounds like you are doing the right thing by her. :(

I'm so sorry that you are in this situation.
 
I feel for you, we take on these animals and have a duty to care for them and sometimes this means making the final decision. My horse has had colic surgery, navicular syndrome and arthritis in both hocks with a bone chip. I have decided that all the time I can keep him comfortable with low usage of drugs then that's ok but as soon as that becomes impossible then, goodbye :(. He's only 12 and never done a hard days job in his life !!!!! Hope all goes ok
 
Hugs as I know how hard it is. I had one pts last year he was only 8. But like yours there was nothing more I could do.
 
I just cant believe it :( She looks a million dollars and doesn't look as broken as she is if that makes sense. Myvet has been awesome and been very honest with me - she said if she had one or two of these conditions going on then maybe there would be a chance but with everything there is just too much :( She thrives on her work and I cant let her become a shadow of herself
