Bassett - we're praying for you and your mommy! She is worried about your health, about how to make you better, and about the cost of the surgery. She is doing her best to balance some very difficult issues, so do your part and keep trying to get better!

Naomi - your situation brings up two touchy subjects -
money vs. pets. Most of us would say we'd spend ANY amount on our beloved pets, but when faced with the facts, we might choose differently. Or, we want to spend the money, but we just don't have it! That doesn't make us "bad"; we each must decide for ourselves and our pets.

surgery vs. not. When the vet gives us choices that could have a terrible outcome, we might choose the course that someone else thinks is wrong. And we have to live with that choice forever. It is very very scary!

Just know that many PetTalk people have had to face these choices and we want to support you through whatever you decide!
