I have nothing profound to add as I go back and forth on this subject. It breaks my heart when people say my Yorkie was diagnosed with whatever condition but I can't afford to have him/her fixed. I do, however understand that not everyone has the funds to pay for it. I feel bad for both the owner and dog. I think often of when Georgie was diagnosed with AAI and the next week I was laid off. My husband and I both agreed he had to be fixed and we would use care credit if it meant taking longer and paying the interest. Again, I know not everyone can do that but I would hope that if they can't they would consider giving the dog to a rescue to give him/her a chance. JMO
