May 2003-July 2008
I put up a photo of Corli taken on Monday night.
She was still herself, happy to go out walking, even though she spent much of her time laying down in the shavings.
Last night Frank ponied Corli out and she was looking tired and her eye was swollen shut from the hard ground. Today he hand walked her a bit, couldn't pony her, so it was time.
I had Dr. Schilling look at her on Sunday and she recommended going to the equine hospital. On Monday, Dr. Etchart looked at her and recommended colic surgery, but he said if we couldn't afford it, he said Monday was not the right time for euthanasia.
I think we all needed to get used to the idea. And I needed the opinion of two different vets on the severity of the situation.
Corli gave me "a look" on Tuesday that made me wonder if she was saying "enough." She had the most incredible eyes, VERY large and deepset like Coromino's.
Such a beautiful young mare. I'll miss her terribly.
