Last night someone rang me they have an old pony and they wanted to borrow some Danilon from me because ' the vet would not give me any more until I pay my bill' they said they where away and could not get home and their partner said the pony was in 'bad way' .
The pony is very old has Cushings and repeated bouts of lami and should IMO been PTS a long time ago , a friend kicked them off her yard for non payment and because of the state of the pony that must be five years ago .
I refused to give them the drugs , my vet lets me have boxes of danilon to manage Horses they see regularity and the vets are very involved in the horses health.
I don't know what's wrong with the pony over and above the usual , It might the frozen ground hurting it's awful feet and I just felt I it was not right to just hand over drugs to be given to some else's pony and I was worried they would just delay paying the vet and getting proper advice .
I have feeling awful all day ,what would you all have done .
