How dare you mis read my post
Yes i love animals and i aint ashamed to say this.I certainly wouldnt see one suffer.I wasnt casting judgement on the insurance policy albeit she is/was a student you should still have something in place for any emergency if you own any animal.
As for the prognosis i had a 10wk old pup that broke his leg in two places and also fractured his hip not by any mistreatment from a human just playing out with his mum.I know to well what a fracture can do to a animal and shock soon sets in.I had a marvellous vet who tended to my pup but he made it pretty darn clear that until he saw the actual breaks he wasnt sure if he could save my pups leg,I know a dog will adjust to being on three legs but at 10wks old it was a lot to put my boy through so i told the vet if it was a matter of amputation i would prefer to let me pup go,a harsh decision but one i chose.my pup survived after intensive surgery and lots of expense and months wearing different pins to support his injury.Ive just lost two girls to cancer and let me tell you we tried everything in our power to save them,but at the end of the day none of my animals will be kept alive if they need medication.You think what you want of me but i dont go asking for charity.my animals my responsibiity.
that backpak you wearing it wants shoving somewhere as you are one rude person
