I'm so sorry to hear about Tia's Lp. I haven't had experience with that, my yorkie had liver shunts (2 to be exact). I think if the store will refund your money you should keep her. That is more than my seller agreed to do with my yorkie with the liver shunts. He wanted me to give him back so he could put him to sleep. I agree with what was said earlier on here, who will love Tia? Chances are that she would go to someone who wouldn't try and fix her and she would be euthanized. I also believe that dogs come to us for a purpose. I don't know that much about Lp, but from what I've read it is fixable. The joke around my family is that if a dog has a problem God gives it to me because He knows that I'll try and fix it. I have dealt with epilepsy with 2 of my dogs, inguina hernias, allergy scratch tests and shots, 2 cruciate replacements, 2 liver shunt surgeries and panosteoitis. It has been costly over the years, but I have never regretted the money spent on any of them. They have given me back more than I ever could have spent on them! Each one has been special and I feel lucky that I had the opportunity to save them. I say take the chance on her. Take the money and put it in a savings acct and add to it every month. Also, you can look into pet insurance. Good luck. |
