Shiloh is a 10 year old Mare that my daughter Kayla had adopted 6 years ago. She was Kayla's first horse of her own and her pride and joy. She was an amazing jumper.
Unfortunately, Shiloh had some kind of unknown accident with a puncture wound in the top of her right front leg ..in which she was held in a sling for 4 weeks because she could not put weight on the leg without risking further injury. After recovering from this her back and withers and muscles were damaged from being in the sling for that long. Her leg wasn't healed 100% and Kayla was debating on retiring her for the winter then reassess her comfort in the spring. About 2 months ago, not officially recovered yet, Shiloh's same front right leg got kicked and broken by another horse at feeding time. It has come to the point where Shiloh is no longer eating her medications, her other legs are unable to carry her weight, she cannot lie down, hasn't lied down in months and she isn't healing the way she should be..The one time that she did try to lay down due to exhaustion, she hurt her self worse. She is losing weight and has no muscle mass left on her right side. She is slowly deteriorating and still would need to recovery from surgery, if she was even capable of making the trailer ride to the clinic. The vet has given Kayla the ultimatum of either surgery which could cost up to $40,000 with no guarantees Shiloh would ever be comfortable again, or ultimately euthanize her.
Shiloh is scheduled for Euthaization tomorrow (Monday 1/09/2017) at 10am. The cremation and pick up services will cost $2500.
I'm asking friends for a little bit of financial help for my daughter to assist with this cost, it being such an emotionally and financially devastating time. She still has astronomical vet bills for this horse that need to be paid off as well so any further contributions are deeply and genuinely appreciated.
