Shame she is dropping food. I guess soaked hay/silage etc would be just as difficult for her

It is also £500 per tooth to have it done and she probably wouldn't survive it...or still have the ability to chew afterwards. It is the end for many grazing animals which live that long tbh

She can't chew haylage. Only hay now but hurts to do it

I must have a chat with you about whisky one day Jay. I have been sampling a huge range as a result of a gift my son had and made me share!

This is probably my favorite pic taken of her with my eldest at a XC course nr Redmarley a few years ago. Daughter said she was ready to go today. she was very calm, and my daughter stayed with her to the end. Our other mare will miss her. They have been closest of fields mates for 7 years. Still she had what was the best of summers we have experienced and had a good run. It was her time, and it would have been inhuman to leave it any longer, and the vet agreed with that when they came today. We did right by her, but it still doesn't make it any easier. She was a good un

I'm sorry to have to report that Busby died yesterday at the age of 14.

Since early on Saturday morning he'd been suffering a recurrance of Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome which is an inner ear condition that causes a very distressing sickness and loss of balance/coordination. This is apparently quite common in older dogs but is something that they generally recover from and indeed yesterday morning he was looking much better and was hungry.

Unfortunately a little while after he'd eaten a bit more at lunch time, he brought it back up and half an hour later was gasping for breath. An emergency trip to the vet was arranged but the diagnosis wasn't good. Following discussion with the vet it was decided that trying to keep him going with only a slim chance of recovery was not the best move and he was put to sleep.

He has been buried next to Beattie in a spot where he won't get disturbed.

How are you doing today?

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

How are you doing today?

A lot less thanks. It's going to take quite a while to get used to not tripping over a dog everytime I turn round.
