This message is from: "Jeanne Zuker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sue and Kez,
First I am so sorry but you are fortunate to have found this condition. You may remember I found my Fjord gelding Olaf dead in his stall Sept. 06, he had just turned 7 yrs in May. (this is still hard to write about) I had the necropsy done and it was found he had a total tear out in his descending aorta, no injury and the vet said he had to think it was a birth defect and that it just gave way. I am so sorry, I will pray for you and Kez. I know this is heartbraeking news. Olaf never showed any signs of distress and my vet never said anything about a heart murmur. I find peace in that Olaf went very fast and I gave him the best care and love during our short time together. You have my admiration for bringing Kez home since you have medical problems. Please know you have my shoulder, tears, prayers for yourself and Kez. Again, I am sorry this has got to be so heartbreaking after raising him after his mom died, I cannot imagine.
