There are times when we have to stop and re-think what the goal is..It does not seem to be money that is driving you but the protection of any other baby to whom this might happen. I am saying this because I think you have accomplished the very thing that you set out to do-assure that your baby's death was not in vain. The money is a big issue and you might spend more and have the same outcome.
Many times just going thru all that you have are what will help assure that this does not happen to another baby. That vet will never look at another puppy without remembering Chewy and what happened. He will think more than twice before doing such procedures on another little one.
I was criticized by a person who was told that I refused that procedure for my heart of heart Jesse who died last winter. My vet was very open and honest about the dangers and I could not take the chance. It sounds as if your vet was not as forthright as he/she should have been. |
