I was checking on your thread about sweet Brandi and was completely shocked that he recommended euthanizing her. We went to our Vet for months about our Boxer Coco not once did they mention euthanizing her and she was almost 13. I think in part because I explained to them and said it just like this....."don't count our money" meaning give us the diagnosis and let us decide. So many Vets like to be conservative and while I can appreciate that I don't want them to recommend the easy or less expensive way out. That is for my husband and I to decide once we are informed of the condition. I understand this is an ER vet but they should be even more cautious to suggest that not having seen the dog ever before. I would definitely address the situation with the Vet and his office. If then you are not satisfied with the answers, file a complaint.
