 I'm sobbing . I know you are feeling 100x worse. All I know to say is I'm so sorry it has come to this.

I agree with the breaking of an abcess she is more comfortable. I think that her skin is "thinning" so her abcess could break more easily.(You did NOT hurt her or cause this!)
The white coming out of her nose would not be CL. It is probably from her lungs which are not processing the fluids out of them. This happened to our pony after she had a heart attack.
I am so sorry for you. To lose your friend on Thanksgiving. . .but you will always be thankful that you had her in your life.

I lost my mare, my best friend for 21 years, last year. She had been with me since my tenth birthday...I understand your pain. I wish I were closer, I wish I could do or say more. Know that there are many here who are standing with you, even if in spirit only.

We just got back from Forever Friends where she will be cremated and her ashes spread with Shep's and Bobo's. I held her all the way there. Now we are going to clean out the barn as best we can and tryto comfort Flossie and Frankie who are completely freaked out right now. We let them see her body and they followed it, even though wrapped in a blanket, to the truck and cried at the truck door. They no she is gone and very distraught. That makes it harder. I am numb. I feel like I'm stuck in a dream or something. Hubby is taking very good care of me. Everything about the passing is peaceful except for Frankie and Flossie and the dogs. Rocky and Boris have never been so worried. The horses are standing at the gate. They know mama is upset. Everyone is out of sorts...that is the impact that Gretta had here. It's a huge loss. I am very concerned about Frankie and Flossie and will spend the rest of the afternoon with them. They have no clue how to live without their mama

You are Frankie and Flossie's mama now. That is what you will do for Gretta.
Everyone has to grieve together

So sorry, Sweetie. I'm glad you have your husband there and the comfort of the rest of your animal family with you. We're here for you too. Big Love for you all.
RIP Gretta. Run without pain.

Minelson, I am so very sorry for your loss. But you did all you could do and more for dear Greta. I think Greta only stayed around this long for you..she just couldn't do it any more.
Those two kids will call you momma before you know it. And yes, your whole homestead knew when the queen passed. It's amazing how some animals have that effect on the others.
I wish you peace of mind Minelson, maybe that was what Greta was trying to give you.
Blessings~

I can not believe how lost we are! Frankie and Flossie are running around crying...they never do that! I just want to crawl in a hole but my babies need help. I don't know if I have it in me. I'm so tired.
