I just read that your dog was screaming in pain. I am appalled that anyone who proclaims to love their dog would allow this to continue, for even one more second.

I realize it is not always at everyone's fingertips to come up with thousands of dollars for veterinary care. That is when you you act for the dog and not for yourself.

If there ever was a day in any of my dog's lives that I heard them *scream* or otherwise show distress, I'd surrender them to rescue, put them down, or pay the bill not matter how I had to do it.

You may think you can take a wait and see approach. You can't. You are the guardian of your dog and you owe it to him to do the right thing for him. RIGHT NOW.
