I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Believe me, I was just as disturbed as any of you. It was so horrible to watch, and we just wanted to help him. I know taking your pet's life is hard, but so is watching him suffer. It was her pet, so I was trying to leave the decision to her. I hope you all understand and don't think I am cruel.

She goes to a terrible vet, I agree. But it was in the evening and they were closed. They would only refer her to the 24 hour vet, who made the expensive demands. We tried calling our vet, who was also closed, but the people on call (techs, not vets) said he was out of town until Monday and to refer emergency visits to the same 24 hour vet. We asked them if there was anything humane, and they couldn't think of anything either.

It was a terrible situation, I am so sorry to burden anyone with it. Please don't think we are cruel or heartless, we were only trying to HELP him not to suffer. I agree that one should have a pet fund for these emergencies, but she is a single mom and just didn't plan for it. I wish dh and I had the money to give her, but we couldn't.
