Something that bothers me - this is very long

I Also AGREE 100%!

I think ''If you can't afford the vet you still desurve your pet''

Many people even the homeless have pets, pets do get sick and somtimes they don't have money to pay for the vet well that's life, everything has to die sooner or later .. at least the pet did not have to stay stuck in a shelter. Even if they have to put there pet to sleep at least they gave it a loving home and cared for it with all there heart. Argranade was very sick, I had a chance to take him to the vet (I was short on cash too) but I knew in my heart he was not going to make it, so I just loved him with all my heart and gave him comfert on his last hours on earth.

Some people don't have alot of money YET they'll use every last bit of change they have to feed and keep there pet, lucky enough I do have money to take care of my pets very well BUT if I did not I still would not get rid of them for that reason, as long as there well fed and there heart is happy that's all that matters.

I am glad I do not have that attitude or Raven's days would be numbered.


As for the other posts I agree with a lot said, although it is still frustrating sometimes when someone joins looking for a diagnosis and treatment without consulting a vet. For example: "My dog hasn't eaten in a week and is throwing up what do I do?"

There is nothing anyone here can do about that other than advise to please get to a vet. Then the person sometimes flat states they can't afford it, and continues to post more and more grim updates of the dog's decline. That is when it gets very very frustrating.

Being short on funds is understandable, especially in an emergency, but EVERY effort should be made if something is life-threatening to get the animal treated. There are organizations out there to help if people are truly unable to get money to help any other way. I think most Pet Talkers would "beg, borrow and steal" so to speak rather than just saying "oh well"

The responsible thing to do, when your pet it too ill to be saved, is to have that pet put down by the vet when it is suffering that greatly, rather than just let it linger around in the pain of oncoming death until it finally dies on its own. Yes everything dies, but it's the way of death that matters...

He was not suffering, he was just sleeping alot so there was no need to have him put down, I like the natural way better because I dout I could have handled taking him to the vet to be put down. I know if a pigeon has to be taken to the vet or not. If he was REALY in pain then I would have taken him to the vet right away.

I am glad I do not have that attitude or Raven's days would be numbered.

I'm not saying just let your pet die, I mean everything DOES have to die sooner or later but at least TRY to do your best to keep your pets health at top shape ... at least if you want it around long.
