I had the same dilemma with my Zipp. I think it was some words from Jessica Jahiel that made a big impact on me (we were on Equine-L together). I can't remember them exactly but knowing my situation (for years) and that Zipp wasn't getting better and had just had a major prolonged episode, and knowing the strain his heart was under due to his RAD (per my vet), it was something to the effect of, the sun is shining, the grass is green, a gentle breeze is blowing . . . it's a beautiful day to cross the Bridge. And when I met the vet for our scheduled time, I desperately searched for signs of improvement and begged Richard to tell me Zipp had gotten better and that it wouldn't be necessary to make that decision on that day. Richard sadly told me he hadn't. That's when I recalled Jessica's words and made the hardest decision of my life.
What I'm trying to say is that I and most of us here know how very hard it is to know when the time is right. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you and Rascal.

I think any of us would have called it off if they bounced back like that. Perhaps its just to ready you for when it really does happen. Kind of like practice? ((((HUGS)))
