need magic COTH jingles for maxxwell! UPDATE- HE'S GONE :(

[maxxtrot]

some of you know maxx, so wanted to post here as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maxx was my one star event horse, he lived a very cruel and rough life before me, but we really clicked when i found him. maxx is older now in his 20's. he had an impaction colic in nov. got through that and was fine for most of dec. then started to back off his feed and a couple of days later the hay too. then the runny poops showed up, pretty much poop colored water, still wanted to go out to graze, vet was out today, we pulled blood, white count is at 13,000( a little high) and protein levels are a little high as well.(8) we tubed him with bio-sponge. he is on metro 3 x a day and gentocin 30 cc's 1 x day, and babamine 2 x day. he did get a fever this morning before the vet got there, 102.6 but came down with a cold bath and banamine. no runny poops all day, but no poop at all now. a small cow patty at turnout. but he just looks like he feels really blah, but is walking around with the herd(did not want to be inside) just standing with them. so please jingle this is something we can treat, not sure i am ready to see him go quite yet.but will let him go if it is time, i will not let him suffer. vet wants to take it day by day, does not want to give up on him quite yet.i love the horse like he was my own child, jingle hard and fast. thanks all,

I am so sorry for your loss, Maxx sounds like he was an amazing horse.

[bornfreenowexpensive]

I'm so sorry. It is so hard when we have to say goodbye.....he sounds like he was a special horse.

[3dazey]

So, so sorry. It is hard. :cry:

[TampaBayEquine]

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Letting them go is so hard, even when it is the right thing to do. It sounds like he was a wonderful, loved boy. My condolences.

[Jazzy Lady]

Oh no, BIG HUGE HUGS to you! I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You gave him a wonderful life and he'll be running free over the rainbow bridge with so many other wonderful horses. He's in a great place now.

[FlightCheck]

Darn it...there are no words...

[3horsemom]

i am sorry for your loss.

[eyesontheground]

I am so sorry Stacey.

Big Hugs to you.

[Lori T]

Stacey, I am so sorry to hear this. Was hoping for a good outcome. Hugs to you.

[frugalannie]

I was so sorry to open COTH and see this. My deepest condolences on the loss of Maxx. Your love for him has always come through in all of your posts, and even in your first post, you put his well-being first.

I'm sure that he felt blessed that he was your partner, and that you two were lucky to have found each other. Perhaps when you're ready, you'll share a favorite Maxx story or two. In the meantime, grieve for the grand old fella.

[scubed]

hugs to you. You and Maxx were such a pair.

[Hilary]

I'm so sorry to hear this. My old lady Alison is very sick right now too, but being the iron horse that she is, is still with us.

I hate that they have to get old like this.
Every day I look out and hope all is well, knowing that one day, it won't be.

[ShayDarra]

I am SO sorry for your loss. Those of us who have been through the loss of a truly beloved horse can empathize with the anquish you are feeling. It hurts to the core and my heart goes out to you.

[Grasshopper]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Big ((((hugs)))) to you this evening....

[RnR]

I am so sorry for your loss. He seems like an awesome guy.

[maxxtrot]

thanks guys, this is still a little raw for me, i have been checking in reading the post, but it just makes me cry harder. he was my soul mate in horses, and i will never forget him, i feel like it (the pain) will never go away. i did get to bury him on the farm, so that helps. but i can't even think about going down to feed tomorrow morning without him there :(

[War Admiral]

Oh maxxtrot, I'm so sorry. You and he were another COTH institution. He will be greatly missed by all of us. :cry:

[CookiePony]

I'm so very sorry. :cry:

[FoxChaser]

I'm so sorry to hear this news :( Big hugs to you and hang in there tomorrow and in the days to come.

[maxxtrot]

hey guys, i was just thinking, i know some of you knew maxx personally.a lot of people actually, i would love if any of you have stories, short or long for you to post them on my guestbook of my website, so i will have to see and read. i know hearing stories from others will help me through this horrible time. and keep him close to me. thanks guys.

Hi Stacy

Maxx's friend Rullah also crossed the rainbow bridge a few weeks back - I just learned today.

I'm thinking about a Ralph clinic - area III adult riders, I think - maybe at Longwood... a long time back, and Maxx was being an absolute butt! And you had the time of your life.

RIP my friend

[Robby Johnson]

I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

[FLeckenAwesome]

Oh I am sooo sorry too. Sending lots of hugs and more hugs your way.

RIP Maxx

[Piney Woods]

Oh Stacey, I'm so sorry. I lost 24 yo George the same way this summer. Like a previous poster, George and I rode with you in a Ralph clinic at Longwood....maybe more than once. I still haven't put another horse in George's stall but we can all take solace in the thought that all of those old eventers are galloping around without pain on the other side of the bridge.

[Bensmom]

Stacey, I am so sorry to read this.

Buzzy and JayKay were probably waiting for him on the other side of the Bridge to show him around.

It is hard. Much harder than I expected. I still have a hard time seeing Buzzy's feed buckets sitting to the side in my feed room.

Extra hugs to you, and Godspeed to Maxx.

Libby

[Debbie]

I'm so sorry.

[maxxtrot]

libs, ralph and andrew were here yesterday, and ralph had so many good things to say about him, he remembered him :) how could you not. it is hard, i have not been to the barn this morning, i am still trying to get out the door, not sure i can go down there without that face that i have seen everyday for so long. i feel like i will never be happy.

[monstrpony]

Dang. Another one. I feel like I'm running out of ways to say this, but I am so sorry for your loss. It's overwhelming when it is one of the special ones. My heart aches for you today. :cry::cry:

[Lincoln]

So sorry. Thoughts and prayers with you.

I don't know if this helps, but when I lose a friend in my care, I try to console myself by remembering that it's one of the few things in life you can see through all the way to the end. Each one is, in its way, a little victory. You done right by that one.

You done right. He was loved, cared for, and respected, right to the end.

Big hugs.

[foxhavenfarm]

Oh Stacey, so sorry for your loss.

[Fred]

I'm so sorry for you, losing your special boy. You have my heartfelt sympathy and condolences.
Rest in peace, Maxx.
