Saddlebred x Percheron
If you look at the photo posted, he’s definitely about there I’m afraid. He’s still mostly himself so it’s going to be hard.

I’m sorry you are having to manage this with your horse. Making the decision to give a humane & informed euthanasia when their eyes are bright but the body is broken pulls at our hearts.

I know this is an older post in this thread, but it bears repeating over and over again. So, so true when we recognize deterioration in our pets and have the ability to prevent suffering or a prolonged downhill slide.
@FatCatFarm, you have my sympathy. Know you’re doing the right thing for your horse, for more reasons than just the financial aspect (which also can’t be ignored).

I kept my dsld horse comfortable for six years and I’m glad I did.
However, I had to put him down after what was likely a long night down in his stall with colic and I’m not happy about that.
Sparing them that, if you can, is a kindness.
