Do just remember that you love your baby and she loves and depends on you. I will research some of the sites which offer help with large ongoing vet bills. I will let you know if I find out anything.
Again...I hope you accept my apology

Thank you for your response it is better to really know where the person is coming from before making judgements. I do make good money but I also live in NYC and I am putting a family member of mine through college by myself. Yes my dog is very important to me but am I willing to go bankrupt for her or risk my family members education? Others can make judgements but the answer to that would be no. Some people may do it but the real reality is she is not human she is a dog and there are decisions that are easier made when you are not dealing with human emotions. If I had adopted a child and then had these medical bills then I wold not give the child back that is a human being. I would give my dog up to a rescue before I'm swimming in medical/credit card bills or bankrupt. There are certain things that do come before my dog like a roof over my head, food on my table and my family members education. Like the poster before said I really don't know too many normal people that can afford $6,000 in vet bills in 6 months especially when tuition is due with school coming up in a few weeks and already paying off the first surgery. I have no resentment towards my dog and I had no problems with her being "different" until the medical bills racked up. Giving her up will create a big hole in my home. Thank you for your recant of your statement and please if you find anything to help me, please let me know.
