My little colt with Choke

[eagles ring farm]

oh Marnie :no:

I feel so bad

so sorry for your loss he was a beautiful little colt

I unfortunately also understand the decision of thousands of dollars

to maybe have a good out come. And just ending the suffering.

Prayers for you, your family and your mare.

So sorry

Hello, I just wanted to tell you how deeply sorry I am about your little colt.

He was a cutie. I do feel your pain, I truly do, as we also lost a beloved mare

to a massive stroke. Its been truly a rough week for a lot of us on

this forum.

I am just so so sorry you lost him. He is running and playing with my Cashmere in

Heaven. She so loved the babies. So I know she will protect and love him for you.

I am just so sorry.

Hugs & Prayers for you all

Vicky

I just wanted to add, Thank You for sharing your story. It may someday save

another foal or horse that is choking. Maybe they will read this and it help them.

You did all you could for your little baby. Bless You both so much

I'm so sorry to read this Marnie. It's so hard to loose these little guys, babies and adults! Just know that even if he didn't have this injury, it's likely that your vet was right about the damage to his throat and the reacurrance of the choke. My Mom had an adult Shetland Pony that choked on one of those alfalfa pellets that so many people give as treats. It scratched up his throat and he forever had choke issues. She ended up giving the stallion to the vet as he was choking so often that she couldn't afford the vet calls anymore. So I understand all about that!

Again, so sorry to hear about your beautiful little boy :no:

Manie i couldn't read this whole thread as i am already crying at work, just wanted to say SO SORRY for your loss and THANK YOU for posting your experience and findings... i am the LAST one to criticize as we have lost a couple from our own ignorance but we still take the risk of receiving criticism and tell our stories in the hope of saving someone else from making the same mistakes... and i am NOT saying this was your case, as obviously it was an injury you couldn't see, but again thanks for taking the risk to share your story, as it may save someone else from spending thousands unnecessarily and prolonging another little horse's pain and suffering... quite probably not something a lot of us would have considered and now we know to check for it under similar circumstances! but what a sad, sad thing for you to have to do, right as it was, and my heart goes out to you {{{{{hugs}}}}} he was such a handsome little guy...
