Sometimes i really hate people.... 3 Attachment(s) So today i go into work and we have a new transfer. She is a 11 month old Chihuahua mix (i think she's a Chi/Papillion mix) with a broken humerus bone. The owners call in the morning and the first thing they ask is "how much is this gonna cost?" Ok this is a reasonable question, but usually people will ask "how is my pet?" beforehand. Not these people. The surgeon gets on the phone and tries to go over everything with them. They interrupt him again with "how much"? So he tells them, and they say they don't have that. OK, so he goes over their options of care credit, possible amputation at their regular vet, another vet that might be able to do it for cheaper, yada yada yada. The people apply for care credit and get denied. So they call us back to tell us. The doctor asks them if they would like to pursue the other options and they say "No, put her to sleep" :eek: WTH? The doc got off the phone with them and told us techs and of course we threw million of questions at him and complaints. He said the owners just can't be bothered to pursue other options. So right off the bat we tell him we refuse to put this puppy to sleep. I went downstairs to other departments to tell the "suckers" :p of the hospital about her. The first two people i ran in to were just as upset as i was so we're trying to work something out. Hopefully that puppy is still there tomorrow when i go into work. I'm put up my proposal of getting him to do the surgery, for a much cheaper cost to me, hopefully, and then letting me foster her for a few weeks and then giving her to one of the other techs from a different dept to foster and or keep. Bottom line is, this little girl needs a new mommy and/or daddy Here she is |
I just don't get people sometimes. I can understand not having the money but maybe work out a payment plan or something. |

Ahhh she is a sweetie, poor babie, i cant believe her owners could be so mean, I hope and will pray something can be worked out to save this little girl, |
OMG, how can they say "just put her to sleep", like it's nothing???? What a little cutie! How did she break the humerus bone in the first place? I'm so glad you're able to help her! |

That is so sad. I hope your able to help this baby |
Aww..that's aweful:mad: That is one thing I'm going to hate to deal with as a vet...stupid owners and those that just don't care about their pet :thumbdown Even if they couldn't afford to fix it the right way, there are other options. I don't understand why these people even get dogs. Gosh..if something happened to Lacy, I'd do all I could to help her. And if I was the one that caused it, I'd try even harder! Some people :thumbdown |
I'm sorry but that just sounds really sketchy to me. Is the puppy skiddish or anything? She fell on her and now wants her put to sleep? Idiots, I swear. |

:mad: Why would these people even have a dog? They could have found a vet that has a payment plan and just amputated it. |
