It's time.
I went to visit last night and although she was perkier, she was still not herself, and not physically comfortable. In addition to the things I mentioned in my last post not improving, when I brushed her, she was shedding like a fiend. I guess the Pergolide isn't doing it's job anymore.
I have a call out to the vet, and am waiting for him to call me back to schedule something for next week. There is a summer camp session at the barn next week, so it will need to be toward the end of whatever day he is available.
Ugh. I am so not looking forward to this, but I do know in my heart and my gut that I am making the right decision for her. It's time.

Hugs to you and Promise. I think it's good you had this extra time to think about everything and give her a really solid shot at being sound. Reading your past few entries, I hear a lot of sadness in your writing and wish I could do something to help.
ReplyDeleteYou have been the best horse mom through thick and thin. Promise is such a lovely mare she has had such a full life with you.
ReplyDeleteHang in my dear, tears and-the missing them- heart aches, are the hardest part of loving as we say goodbye.

ReplyDeleteIt will be a relief and a weight off your shoulders once it is over.
