It was just a question. It's an old practice that my grandfather used to do. He used to breed hound dogs. It's very sad and there is no way I would be able to do this. Breeding can be a beautiful thing, but there are alot of ugly things that can and do go wrong. And some are faced with things they thought they would never have to do. It's hard to say what I would have done. We do have emergance vets that charge 150 just to be seen plus cost of what ever treatment they do. Can get costly for a pup you know is not going to make it. If there was a pup who was not in pain and I knew it was not going to make it, I would wrap it up keep it warm and calm as possible and let it go as nature attended. But what do you do with a pup that is so badly deformed and/or pain and/or seizing? What then? I can see how you would want to end it's life to keep it from suffering. Again I would not be the one to make such a decision. I with you the best of luck! I would ask what happened to the pup but I understand if you don't want to answer for fear of what other members may say, but please understand we all are here because we love our little ones and are pet lovers. They are only stating their opinion and believes. But it's for the love of the animals!
