Since I didn't want to start a whole new topic, I figured I'd post this here.
Yesterday, one of my horses, Story, was put to sleep. She had been very ill since New Year's Eve, when she was barely moving, unable to eat or drink, and was coughing up large amounts of blood and mucus, as well as bleeding from the nose. My mom and I were covered in said blood and mucus after loading her into the trailer for transportation to the equine veterinarian, and afterwards, the inside of the trailer looked like a mass murder had taken place there. It was that bloody.
After 4 figure medical bills, she was ready to come home, but that same day, she was diagnosed with pneumonia and had a ton of fluid in her lungs. We kept hoping for the best, that she would turn out okay, but yesterday, we found out the bad news.
Rest in peace, Story.
