Good vibes please, Lady so poorly

[cackleberry]

Hi guys.

I'm not fishing for sympathy, just need to share my pain!

As you know, Lady has Cushings disease and has laminitis.
But it's all getting too much for her (me?) and I've decided to have her put down. She has been on a medium dose of bute, but is still in lots of pain. Her feet are red-hot and just looks so fed up.
So, the YO is ringing the 'man' to come to do it, she'll let me know when tomorrow. It will defo be within the next few days.

I think i feel better now it's 'organised' i've been a distraught mess for days!

So, yeah, there we go. Miserable.

I am so sorry to hear that but as Emm says you are very brave to let her go and not allow her to suffer. Bless you! Take care!

[Catg]

Well said Emm couldn't have put it better myself.

So sad but sounds like you're doing the right thing hun. Big hugs xxx

[K8E]

I am so sorry to hear that. Like the others said you are very brave to let her go.

((Big Hugs)) Thinking of you xx

[My Crazy Clan]

I'm so sorry xxx

[Poppy and Harmony]

Sorry to hear this :( Sounds like the right decision though
*hugs*

[banjo]

I am so sorry, x

[Betseyboo]

Hunni, I'm so sorry. I know how devastating it is to lose a pony. You are making such a brave decision for her though <<<hugs>>> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[vels mum]

Really sorry to hear this but you are doing right by lady. xxxx

[black crow]

Oh poor sweetheart!

This is the exact situation my old boy is in, fighting Cushings and Lammi is a horrible thing, and with him it's now just a matter of when the time is right. He is still enjoying life but i know he wont be with me this time next year :(:(

Agree with Em. It is SO damn hard putting them down, but the greatest gift of all is to alleviate suffering. It may not feel that way for a while, but in time you will see it is the final act of kindness we can ever do for them. It's just so hard for us to deal with afterwards sometimes.

Please dont feel alone, you have all of us here

xxxxx

That is very sad-poor Lady! I wish you the courage to make the right decision for your girl-I know you will! )hugs) Nessx

[Starsky]

im so very sorry, but i hope you can find some comfort in that you are doing the very best for your pony and putting her first before your feelings, something some owners wouldnt do.
Take care hun, we all understand xx

[Cinders]

Oh no :( i used to love seeing your pics of you and lady when you used to post more regularly!

I'm so sorry to hear lady's so poorly, sounds like your being incredibly brave to do the right thing for her. Thinking of you at this hard time *hugs* xxx

[beks the artist]

Oh no, what a heart breaking decition. Thinking of you in the next couple of days xxx

[Loony]

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this :(, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing. MASSIVE hugs!

[Pirouette]

I'm so sorry *hug*
You are doing the right thing, and I know what you are going through. My first pony had arthritis, laminitis and suspected cushings and I had to let her go. It does get easier I promise.

[Smoke on the Water]

Ditto everyone else. You are being so brave and doing the right thing by her. Thinking of you both.

[Lizwillison]

I am so sorry, so brave to make this decision and the right one be sure of that. I had to do the same in March this year for my George. sending huge hug and lots of courage. xxxx

[cackleberry]

Thank you all so much for your words of comfort.

She goes on Monday. In some ways i feel better now it's organised cos i know she wont be in pain for much longer.
As it is she is out with her buddies, making the most of the thick black mud!! She may be ill but she is still a muck monster!!

Thanks guys.

[beks the artist]

At least she can have one last weekend getting dirty! I always remember those pictures of her covered in mud in a boggy field xxx

[sparkie]

Oh what a shame, so sorry hun.
i remember all those old photos of her covered in mud.
You are doing the right thing, my thoughts are with you.
xx

[Puss in boots]

Oh cackleberry, i had no idea as have only got on here sporadically in the last year really and missed an awful lot.
I am so sorry to hear this about lady, it sounds like you are making a very brave decision and the right one for her.
*massive hugs* to you and lady xxx
