Should I consider euthanasia? UPDATE post 25

[Gesaffelstein]

Op I am thinking of you today. Sending you all the love you need.

[Halternatively]

You and your horse are in my thoughts today. Sending hugs to you and positive energy for your horse to have a peaceful passing into a world with green grass and great friends.

Thinking of you today He’s no longer in pain, and running in green fields.

He is gone. He went quietly and peacefully with his three equine siblings in the bordering paddock and I was with him every step of the way. His best friends in the whole wide world were the neighbor’s cows and he would often cuddle with them over the fence. When we walked him out to his “spot” in the pasture they all came over and watched from the fence line until he was gone. Gut wrenching but also made me smile at the same time. We are all grieving today, but it helps to know he is no longer in pain.

So sorry for your loss.

You took his pain and made it yours. The greatest gift of love.

@Dreamwarmbloods

As I expected, you all have confirmed what I already knew to be the right path. My horse is scheduled to be euthanized on Monday. We are going to put him down in his favorite pasture alongside his friends. I’m heartbroken, but I know it is the best possible decision for him…and me

I was faced with the pre belly-tap question of medical or surgical colic case on my wonderful young horse, Jake. Without blinking, I said medical and if it’s too bad, put him down.

I respect your gut response. He is blessed to have your love and compassion.

Gentle hugs to you. I hope there’s some comfort in knowing you made the best and kindest decision.
