I can't imagine not getting it fixed! They said if its not fixed she may live a year but I just can't bare to see her suffer with congestive heart failure and breathing problems. Soooo the first visit to the cardiologist was 500.00 I had to get her shots before surgery which was 130.00 and surgery will be 2200.00! The breeder actually sent me my money back which will help but still going to be costly! |
I've not read the rest of the replies here cuz you actually made me burst into tears reading this....I'm sorry you and your pup are going through this, I know how expensive it is...I went through something similar and all I can say to you is this...I truly think I've made a big mistake in not doing more...My Mia died suddenly just when we thought we were out of the woods etc...We did go to specialists and cardiologists and now I can't help but wonder if only I had gone back to Cornell for follow ups etc...I would do anything to have her back, I really would, she was a very special little pup that had so many endearing qualities...like when she was scared or just looking for love she would climb up on my chest and press her neck across my mouth and make me hum, I kid you not! She was also deaf so I think this gave her some comfort...if I didn't hum she would press really hard until I did...omg she was a love, an absolute love. The guilt I feel over her passing is immense.
My point here is it really is worth every penny, beg, borrow sell do whatever you have because I know how much you love this pup already...I've honestly spent over $20,000 on my other puppymill baby and she is now 8yrs. old, her life is different than most other pups but she is a healthy loving baby and she gives us so much love and is so incredibly special. All she wants is to allow us to let her love us! You will not regret it. I will never make the same mistake I feel I made with Mia, and believe me it eats me up at times, especially right now.
Also, if there is no way you can handle this financially please, I beg you please give her to a rescue who can help her.
I also want you to know that I am here for you if you ever need to talk to someone who knows what your going through.
