When faced with the difficult decision of euthanizing your horse due to a diagnosis of degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis (DSLD), it is important to consider several factors. Your veterinarian should be consulted to evaluate your horse's condition and determine if they are in pain or distress, as well as provide an estimate of how long the disease may progress. Factors such as age, overall health, quality of life, and prognosis for the future should also be taken into account when making this difficult decision. Ultimately, you will need to make the best decision for both you and your horse that allows them dignity in their final moments.
