An experience can be difficult, end badly and still be worth it. So it is with the last chapter of Consty’s story.
Constellatione has been with us for 17 years. Toward the end of last year, he started having difficulty walking. His feet would go every which way when he took a step. In early March, he went down and was unable to get himself back up.
After desperate day of him being outside in high winds, we were able to help him walk into the barn with the assistance of our vet and a young intern.
At first, the diagnosis was that Consty had a parasite that attacks the spine. Later, it was determined that a cancerous tumor was pressing on his spine. Either way, he couldn’t stand.
