[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know DCUM. Only very, very rich people should have houses, pets, or children,  because they could unexpectedly become much more expensive than you ever anticipated, and that's your fault for not being prepared.

Or maybe, real life means hard choices. OP, I would also put her down before giving her up to someone who might do it anyway. At the very least, let her last moments be with those she knows and loves. I would also try the meds first, though. Why not?[/quote]

As an aside, this is one reason I have resisted getting a dog (and I love dogs, and everyone wants one).  Growing up, we didn't have this kind of money, so it wasn't even an option - our dog would have been put down.  Luckily, it never became an issue.

Now, we are fortunate that we could afford this kind of surgery for a dog - even repetitively.  $5000 every 2 years would not be a problem.  But, I would have a very, very hard time spending that kind of money, even once, much less two times.  I would feel like I *should* spend the money (and the rest of my family would want to), but I would really think it's kinda nuts, and I would incessantly go through all of the things we could do with that money.  In a way being able to afford it is worse - you have to decide it's not worth it to spend the money, as opposed to simply not having it in the first place.    [/quote]
