The vet called around 4pm yesterday to say things did not look good and Lady had crashed. My (wonderful) husband left work early and we raced to the clinic (over an hour away). When we arrived Lady was down,they had her propped up on her sternum but her breathing was laboured and her abdomen was slightly bloated. What a devastating change from the healthy vibrant little horse she had been. Blood work showed her kidneys were failing and her liver was not functioning at all. I knelt at her head and told her through my flood of tears, how much we had loved having her in our lives and how grateful we were for the time we'd had and how I would miss her pretty face and demanding voice at feeding time. I stroked her neck and thanked her for giving me Dyna her beautiful filly to remember her by. When the vet administered the shot to ease her on her way she too was weeping. She was so upset that she had failed this brave little mare that tried so hard and accepted what they had to do so calmly. As the drug took effect Lady quietly slipped away without a struggle. She was too tired to fight any longer and we had given her the only thing left we could offer and that was peace.
I have to believe that she is running free in those meadows that life as a miniature denied her. Goodbye my sweet Lady.
