Lucy was taken to an equine hospital in NH last night. By 3am she was stable and sitting sternal, munching on hay. An hour later she was flat out and grossly distended abdominally. They were not able to decompress her in time and she died. I've asked for a necropsy so that my vets, and those at NH, can learn from this. All are puzzled. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and the many prayers you sent her way.

Oh, such very sad news, despite all your heroic efforts. You gave Lucy a wonderful year of life, and I'm so glad that you found each other to share that time together. Condolences to you and Legz. I am so, so sorry. :-(

I am so very sorry to hear about Lucy. I watched her for so long last year, I began to feel as if she was one of my own. I even suffered Lucy withdrawal when you turned the cam off. I hope the necropsy will give you some answers as to what happened to her. At least she had some good time with you after the neglect she had gone through before. You made her so happy up until the end. And part of her will live on in little Legz. Hugs to you and your family.

That is such sad news. I have been following Lucy's story every day and I am so sad that she has lost her very brave battle. You have done all you could and it was not meant to be for her. The struggle was too difficult for her and now she is at peace and free from pain. Deepest sympathy, and hugs for you in your grief and sadness. Brit
