Just spent $1400 getting an old dog sewn up after it had some kind of accident we can’t figure out. Didn’t seem fair to put him down when he still has a little bit of game in him.
I don’t think my 11 year old son, who did the whole vet trip and witnessed all negotiations with the vet staff, was ready to let him go.
I asked him if he would have forgiven me if we spent a few hundred to put the dog down….he said, “probably not”.
We could have bought several new puppies with that.
