Would you do it for your dog/s? ... Kay in NC
I have to agree with what you said, Kay. If the dog was in reasonably good health otherwise, and was young enough to be expected to live at least several more years, then I probably would if the $$ was available. For my 2 now tho, I don't think it would be something that I would consider. Sparky is 12, has a heart murmur, a bad knee, prone to gum infections. Myndi is 15, has a heart murmur, 2 bad knees, had a bleeding ulcer last year that nearly killed her, low thyroid levels, and now has kidney disease. No way I would even consider her for a candidate - and of course my vet wouldn't either.
