Ok question in the title.
Not looking at anyone.s situation or my own specifically.
But, I do know of horse with a broken leg currently being treated. Nothing wrong with this, each owner makes the decision. But from talking to other owners about serious problems, the vet seems ok to do operations, tests etc on horses that would not have anyy hope of a quality of life.
An 18 year old laminintic died during colic surgery. The vet said they could do the operation.
Has modern medicine now gone too far into letting owners feel they can be saved .
I remember being on a yard and major health issues we're dealt with and I don't mean by the vet. I was totally horrified, but they didn't believe a horse should be in any pain or discomfort.
