Please Lady Jane, I'm not looking for a fight. I'm tired and I'm stressed, please just pray for Moose, I'll have his dad reach out to the veteran groups. My vet will work something out payment wise.
Lets back up and cool off, I'm not asking for money here, I'm asking for prayers. I'm asking for support. I'm asking for understanding. This isn't about money. I'm going to let my vet determine the best route of treatments for Moose, and follow her advise to the letter as I always do. If she ever even hints that he'd be better off with 24 hr vet monitoring I won't hesitate to find a way to take him to the ER and leave him there.
The ER mentioned I've never used - But I actually am familiar with them since that's where the cardiologist works out of that I've been taking 2 of my cats and 1 of my dogs to. Never used them as an ER because they're so far from my house, but since the one closer gives such poor care I'll keep them in mind if something changes with moose or I ever truly do need emergency care. |
As to that first paragraph: We all have budgets. If you only had $10,000 and spent it all on one pup....didn't you think at that time about the others? Perhaps you should have made a different decision for that pup.. I don't know. But...you need to look at all of them when making such decisions. Sometimes we have to make very difficult choices.
