How much would you pay for a healthy pet?

[jackie]

Nope, as much as I love my pets I have learned that its better to let them go naturally than to prolong their lives for my own benefit even if the quality of life after this surgery is as good as a normal healthy dog. Its almost as bad as cloning an animal.

I agree fully with this. one of my friends had a lovely dog but with loads of problems (way too many to list here). In the end she was feeding him like 10+ tablets a day and was constantly back and forth from the vets. IF you need to do this to a dog to keep it functioning semi-normally, maybe its time to just let go. Its always sad to see a loved pet die, but sometimes it much more humaine for the animal.
