PW. I know what you mean. We just spent over $ 300 on our dog of 14 years and we still may have to let him rest. It's been a sad week in our family.
They really become one of the family don't they?

Absolutely. Our lab is 12 and had surgery to amputate the tip of his tail (had a cyst that ruptured). That set us back $1200.
Now, 2 weeks after surgery, the skin around the stitches has died and fell off. We have to take him in every other day for a bandage change and that's $33 a pop.
They are afraid of infection or more of the tissue dying and having to amputate again. I have no idea how we can afford another surgery.
I'm trying to sell off some of the toys I don't need to help cover some of the costs.
