All we know is that this pup is having a medical issue and this owner loves her puppy and is trying to get some help and advice, she doesn't need to be told like a child "why did you get a puppy".

I am sure that not every responsible dog owner has lots of money saved up in case of an emergency. I know many who don't and I know many who can afford to pay alot for their dog if they had too. If we are going to start judging who can and can't have a pet then maybe we should be doing the same for children because it is the same thing when it comes to finances!

And I think a lot of people have kids without thinking it out fully, or are very irresponsible, too! I see it every day as I am in health care, people having child after child being satisfied with the taxpayer footing the bill for their kids healthcare, food etc. Like the octomom! I didn't mean to lecture this person but I see people who do irresponsible things expecting others to foot the bill or otherwise pick up the pieces.
