For anyone who hasn't seen this elsewhere.
Milo has Recurrent Airway Obstruction (the heaves) and chronic laminitis (founder). Either one of these will kill him eventually, and horribly, and in the meantime, he's going through waves of being unable to breathe and/or in too much pain to walk. The only way to really deal with RAO is with steroids, and steroids are what made him founder in the first place. Both our regular vet and a second opinion vet agree that there's nothing more we can do.
We will be putting him to sleep sometime this summer, before we get to August, which has become his worst month.
