Fog's connections have stated they will not let him suffer. There have been several articles recently that indicate that horses tolerate chemo very well, so the general belief is that the treatments will cause no excessive discomfort. The best scenario is that Fog will gain about two years of life which means there could be 50 to 100 little Foggies running around before the end comes (assuming the chemo does not cause sterility). He was a pretty darn good 3yo sprinter and to get a crop or two would be a worthwhile endeavor.

yeah, i read the chemo is not as hard on an animal....and that they have no intention of having this horse suffer.
as long as there is hope, i see no reason not to try--esp since the horse seems to be doing just fine right now, and like they said, if you didn't know he was sick you wouldn't know it just by looking at him. as we've seen with barbaro for example, veterinary medicine has come a long, long way. as long as the doctors and the owner is willing, and as long as foggy is able, why not try? no one, especially not aleo and gilchrist, wants to see this horse suffer. and right now, he's not. and i'd imagine if he could talk, foggy would say he'd rather try as well, rather than just be put down. certainly no future, no hope, in death.

Wait a second....it never said he was dead. WTF you guys are acting like Foggy is dead. I read the whole thing and it said he has had a few bad moments.

Ditto...I was searching all last night for other articles. There is always hope - ie: Barbaro.
