I want to make this clear because I am the only one who TRULY knows what I am thinking in my head and that is that I was NOT mad at this vet for "saving" her life. I am VERY thankful that he second checked her, I am VERY VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS, so for you to say that I am MAD, you all don't know! I am MAD because of my dog WAS suffering and WAS curable WHY WAS I LIED TO?!?! I would of brought her home with me and figured things out! I would of NEVER left her there to sit in a cage BY HERSELF for 5 hours especially if she was suffering!!!!! I am so glad this vet came in and thought that this dog had/has a chance. I THANKED HIM ALSO! I was extremely confused, lost, mad, happy, and sad. I had been CRYING ALL FRICKING EVENING, my eyes were sore from crying so much, my baby daughter asking me " mommy why are you sad what's wrong, where is Stormy? ". I am pissed this office handled the situation the way it did. I believe this vet may of thought he wasn't making enough cutting me some slack the last two or three times I've been in but they don't charge for rechecks and I go for rechecks always. I was JUST IN FOR A RECHECK earlier that day! I have been dealing with this place since I brought Stormy home in October. She had an accident here and that is what happen with her nose, at that time THE VET said I should put her down also! I chose not too, my mom took her home and within two weeks she came around and lived, her vet was shocked!! She has had a few other incidents that the vet told me are probably health issues that she's had. I've been doing the best I CAN by taking care of the problems as they come but yes I have been to the vet so many times now they all know Stormy there and they probably see me the most. I think sometimes I am crazy that I run there over everything excuse me for loving my dog. If there wasn't so many issues I wouldn't have a problem taking care of a dog! I haven't been able to do all the things they want to do previously because their estimates are 800+ dollars on different occasions. I wish I would of started taking her some place else but I live just down the street from them and when something happens they are the closest place to bring her so I go there.


Anyways. after alot of thinking and crying I have decided that I am going to go and talk to this vet from last night and see what he really wants with her. Does he want to really help her get better and keep her as pet or what really is going through his mind. I have to say that I am open to the thought of giving her up if that means she is going to get ALL the testing and help that will make her healthy and ALIVE! I really feel that a vet would probably be the best owner for her as with all the visits I do, it wouldn't cost him nearly as much. He is also a surgeon. I know he did surgeries on both of my FILs dogs legs. I know she will need surgery on her leg eventually because she has LP. I know that 2,500$ is way out of my budget as that is what I was quoted for that as well. I want to see what his intentions are and see the vibe I get, I don't want to just give her away to a vet because he said he can fix her and make her better. Yes it is a VERY nice gesture but what about HIS personality and so on. I am sure you guys wouldn't just give your dog away to anybody now would you? What if they were animal abusers or bad people, just because they offer to "fix" your animal doesn't mean you jump at it right away. I was going through alot the only thing I was thinking was get her out of there, she was SO SCARED!


The second vet came in because this is a 24/7 hospital. One goes home and the other comes in. The first one didn't get to her intime and she was left there to be put down. The second vet decided to look her over I guess before doing the job. He had the stuff out already all on the table, I think he was a blessing as well, I am not mad at him at all.

I am glad you are weighing all your options. I would talk to that vet since he thinks he can treat Stormy and see if he would do it for you. Whatever you decide just take your time weighing your options
