We had to put this sweet baby to sleep today. Thank you for the prayers and comments about Shamie, the horse pictured in my blogs and comments. He will be dearly missed and cannot be replaced.
Shamie will be laid to rest peacefully by the vet in a most humane and pain free way. The tumor in his cheek has progressively become worse and the multiple biopsy procedures has left him with a whole in his cheek clear to the mouth.
This is no way for a grazing animal to live. They still cannot figure out what is causing this tumor or why antibiotics are not healing him. Even if they did figure out today what was causing this, the horse would have a good year of painful recovery due to the hole in his face.
We all love our animals, sometimes we have to love them enough to let them go.
