I's so sorry...

Godspeed, Saturn.

Oh no!

I am so very sorry! I BIG (((((((Cyberhug))))))) coming your way!!!

 

[albahurst]

Thank you so much, everyone. My heart is broken right now. I am sure, in time, the good memories will replace the sadness.

I was hoping he could hold on til this morning, as the roads are clearing.

Saturn was one of my first minis. He has always been a protector of me and was always there to make sure I was ok. He also would protect the babies.

He was a very special horse, and I miss him greatly.

We will be doing a necropsy. I can let you all know the findings. I just don't know if it was a poisoning of some sort (blister beetle) or severe colic. Maybe I can get some answers later this week.

Hugs my friend.

Peggy,

I'm so sorry to hear you lost Saturn. I'm sure you did everything possible and it sounds like he would not had lived even if you could have gotten him to a vet. This is the price we pay for having animals we love - eventually they pass and we are left to pick up the pieces. You can remember that you gave him a great life and lots of love.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry hugs

Saturn's necropsy showed a twisted gut. He apparently coliced in the night and rolled. We never saw him roll once. Vets said nothing could have been done at home - he would have had to go to an equine hospital several hours away for surgery. Of course, we were snowed in. Vet office made a hoof imprint in clay for me - I thought it was a nice gesture.

Miss you, Saturn.

 

[targetsmom]

I am glad you were able to get an answer, and unless you were willing and able to have surgery, there was nothing more you could have done. I thought that was what they might find based on our experience with colic surgery and a snow storm. I don't know what the connection is, but Max died right after a snowstorm too.

RIP Saturn and hugs to you.

Peggy,

I just read your thread. I am so sorry to have read about Saturn. I know he always had a special place in your heart.

You did everything you could have done.
