That's a difficult decision Cotty. You may not have made the best financial decision but you made the right decision for your peace of mind. How old is the dog and what is the prognosis... Vic
I wouldn't feel too bad, last Sunday night my dog after being more or less a dog, (in other words normal), began showing signs of distress, by 1AM his breathing was labored and he barely responded to any stimulus. So like any pet owner I rushed him right over to the pet emergency room. x rays reveal that his body cavity below the diaphragm is full of fluid, due to internal bleeding. The vet gives me an estimate on what has to be done to keep him from dying immediately. This amounts to approximately $1600 to $2000. I wasn't thinking too rationally at this so I gave them my credit card. For the next 2 1/2 hours I vacillated between mourning for my buddy and mentally kicking myself spending upwards of $1600 on a dog who was going to die in the next couple of hours anyway. He's sleeping at my feet as I type this, I'm not sure how long he's going to live but I guess I'd do it again. I'm not sure how I'm going to pay my credit card bill next month... Cotty wrote:
