I couldn't agree with you all more! I had thought about calling the vet and talking to them. The only problem with that is if she ever found out. Man she would loose her mind! I would go with her but we live a good 3 hours away from each other. I have suggested a belly band for him and so on and she just says oh yeah I will give it a try. She never does tho. She has told me before that I should be taking advice from her and that she doesn't need my advice.
I guess it is her age. She is 77 and VERY set in her ways. I guess this is more of a vent type of post more than anything. And yes she is one of these people who think it is cruel to stick him in a "cage"! I just say well a nice size crate that cost 100 plus is a LOT cheaper than $800 every so often!! She just ignores me. I will let you all know what happens.
