I feel like my heart has been crushed. It is so hard for me to believe that he's ACTUALLY gone, he's never coming home, and I didn't even say goodbye to him because I was so sure I'd be picking him up the next day. I've been going through all my photos, not just of him but of everything I've ever loved, and it's made me realize how much I have

I wish there was something I could do to help take the hurt away

I don't know that I can say it any better than seventh_dream did---she's right---you can't second guess yourself. Even the vets didn't know about the ulcer. There's no way you could have predicted such a thing. You did everything you could to save him, even taking him for a potentially expensive second opinion when you were told you should just let him go. Maybe it's a small consolilation, but doing so at least gave him a few last hours of relative peace and an escape from pain. And now he's not hurting anymore, and sometimes that all we can do for our friends

Please don't beat yourself up. You did all you could.
Hell, I didn't even know a horse could have an ulcer!
I'm so sad for you, wish I could say or do something to help:(

I'm seconding everyone who has posted already because I think they've said it best. You can't blame yourself--you did everything you could. I'm sure Trouble knew how much you loved him and appreciated everything you did for him. I know that words on a computer screen don't always offer much consolation, but I hope by the time you read this, you'll be feeling a little better :) ::major hugs:: I'll see you at BreyerFest--I'm so glad you'll be there :)

Seconding and Thirding everyone else. If the vets didn't know about the ulcer, how could you? You've done everything you could for him, it is so obvious whenever you talk about him that you love him with all your heart. I am so so sorry for your loss and pain, and wish there was something I could do to ease it.
