I have a 33-yr-old paint mare that I've had since I was a child. Sadly, she's got cancer and it's progressively getting worse. Treatments won't help and she's losing her sight and hearing and she's dropped off all her weight. Supplements and vitamins don't help to keep weight on her. My family wants me to have her put down, and I know it's what's best for her, but she's been one of my best friends for so long, that I just don't have the guts! However, I've finally made up my mind that it's for the best. Has anyone else ever had to handle a situation like this, and if so, how did you cope?
