Hey guys, Navicular syndrome is bad, no question. BUT it is not necessarily a death sentence. I've never had an animal with it, but there are LOTS of vets out there with extensive experience with it. There are also lots of treatment options depending on the severity. Keep in touch with your vet, do research on the internet (LOADS of info out there) and don't be afraid to ask about different treatments. If you aren't happy with what you are getting from this vet, try another.
This is one of those things that is so poorly understood by so many that there are a zillion different opinions and treatment suggestions out there. No real facts or cures, but I've heard of animals living in relative comfort for years. Don't assume worst case scenarios yet, and don't give up on her. The strength and comfort she draws from you can be a huge help in whatever comes.
Best Wishes...
Bob

Aww I'm sorry.
I don't know much about horses, but hopefully you can work with your vet to find a good treatment plan for her!

Hi, manyjumps93. I ended up practically giving my poor little mare to a woman who takes care of horses like her. I knew I did not have the finances, time or skill to take care of Partee and I still wanted to see her get a good home. She is currently living in Walla Walla, WA as a brood mare, taking the rest of her life easy. The woman loves Paints and promised me that she would take care of Partee and make sure she would be comfortable. It was a hard decision to make, giving her up, but it was for the best. She is being well cared for.

manyjumps, I love how you have your page set up! How did you get it set up so that when you hit "click for album" it goes directly to your pictures?
