The second on his back hip which was starting to deteriorate due to I believe it was a birth defect? Anyways The vet said not only would it take about $5000 to do it but he most likely wouldn't have any quality of life after the surgeries. I agreed with her that the best option was to have him put down. The woman did give him a wonderful night and morning. So he at least didn't have to go in the shelter. RIP Dear Oliver

Why can't Shelters give basic pain management to injured animals?
Doesn'r cost much to do that at least. That poor dog. I hope he didn't
suffer for long. Rest In Peace baby.
