Oh dear feel very emotional - Tilly has gone downhill fast over the last few days and today the vet who suspected cancer confirmed it with a scan. She has fluid build up on her chest, and glands swollen in her neck and lumps in her jaw. She has lost loads of weight because she is not eating and is looking very forlorn. The cancer is in her ovaries. They have decided to put her to sleep today and what is most upsetting is that when they did the scan they discovered she is also in foal - only five months gone so can't be saved. We have only had her for a few short weeks but have already become attached to her as I have spent so much time with her and Elsa trying to get them to be friends - think Elsa will miss her too. She is such a beautiful horse and only 9 years old. How tragic. Her owner is coming to pick her up later today to take her home where she will be put to sleep there. Can't face going to say goodbye at the moment.
