Sad and difficult day.

[KitchenKitten99]

Only after knowing him for just over 9 months, my husband's gelding fell ill in July and just was not able to recover. He had bladder paralysis and at this time, there is no known treatment for it. We grew so attached to him so fast. He was here first, before it was warm (and safe enough) to bring my mare down from where I boarded her at down the road from us. He was here before any of the boarders were here. As big as he was, he was such a gentle soul. He wouldn't hurt anything or anyone. Just wanted to be loved on.

Today we put him down.

This is the first time I have ever had to euthanize a pet. They've all been natural deaths before, or other circumstances.

My condolences to you, and your family. Sad to hear, knowing how our favorite animals in life become members of our family as well. At least his suffering is over.

Sorry to hear that. We have a Westy that the dr's have said needed to be considered but we're doing our best to treat her. Hopefully it'll work cuz it has before (to some extent) but she seems to be getting worse now and I finally see how the doctor could be correct.....he was simply preparing us a few years ago. Yes, it has been going on that long now (good and bad).

Hope you rebound from this quickly. Sometimes the loss of an animal impacts us more than a person *(depending on the person).

So sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a pet is devastating. His suffering is over.
