Sammy was a good boy at heart...we had to put him down due to a lot of sudden medical complications. It started with cushions disease, then back problems, and then his front legs sustained injury which caused them to be hollowed out .
I write this asking for prayers, and to shed light on tyranny of the animal care system. It really is no better than how horrible our human health care system is. All these drugs and treatment to help our precious pets are insanely expensive. Only those with wealth are able to allow their pets a second chance at life. I know Sammy would've recovered and had at least 2 more years if we were able to afford the treatment. He had the spirit and energy to move around, just didn't have the body... I also noticed some suspicious behavior from the staff. I don't believe they're nefarious by any intent, but I could sense a level of incompetence, or neglect from them. I don't know how to explain, but it didn't feel right. I don't think I'll go back to them...but despite that we did what we had to do, and we did everything we possibly could to help our dog.
I pray too, that the collapse of this wicked evil in our world will help not just us humans, but as well our furry families.
And thank you all for fighting the good fight in this information war.
Ugh I’m sorry… we recently went through that with our dog that had systemic lupus. Throughout his life we spent about 8k on his medical bills and he finally died suddenly in his sleep at 7 years old. Vet said he had a few years left if we kept up with his monthly meds that were $300-400. Hubs and I both have 6-figure jobs so we can afford to pay whatever the vet asks for but my god we spend more on our pets than our copays for our own insurance. It’s robbery.
He was deteriorating painfully but pills (not shots) were an easy fix that gave him a good daily life, and most of that cost was emergency surgery when his balls blew up randomly to the size of a grapefruit — $5800 surgery. He was never sick enough to put down. Plus, shame on you for telling someone how to spend their money on family. Dogs are family. My god, you sound like a liberal.
