Charity

I’m so sorry to share more heavy news. Looking back over the weekend Charity didn’t move / walk a whole lot. I really thought she stood in one spot because she was depressed and sick, and her eye was very painful. It wasn’t till I put the halter on for her freedom walk that I felt a pit in my stomach as she walked with me, her head dropping and lifting high trying to get off her front feet. I knew immediately she was very sore. I prayed and prayed it would just be an abscess or something we could inject and let her live a comfortable life, even if it was just for a short time. Unfortunately X-rays broke my heart. Her front feet .. the front right was particularly terrible. She had chronically foundered so badly and that bone in her foot was so rotated with the tip of it completely deteriorated. She also had multiple bone chips / fragments which are so painful. Her pain level was so high and the damage done on her front right was not going to ever be manageable. When the vet called with this news I felt the tears start coming immediately. I was mentally prepared for some of our rescues to need immediate relief, I was NOT ready for Charity to go. This one is hitting me very hard. I’m so sad for her I wanted to give her the world. I’m sorry for another loss 🤍 I will say- the change in her demeanor post rescue was so beautiful. We gave her those last memories of kindness and love and nothing can replace that honor. We love you Charity. I’m so sorry
