>dog gets diagnosed with pyometra >she also has a small ball shaped tumor on her vagina which closed it off and prevents any of the built up fluids caused by the pyometra to leak out>vet says she'd need to see a specialist and it would cost 8k>vet also said my dog is old and her knees are slowly dislocating Should I just euthanize her? Don't want her to die but at the same time I wonder if it's worth getting the surgery just for her to die of old age a year from now, that is if she even survives the surgery.
>>5160149Yes it's her time anon. If she can't walk and has pyo then it's best if she doesn't have to suffer.
>>5160149genuinely have to ask what the fuck part of that procedure costs 8k? it's crazy how inflated pet healthcare is
>>5160303No, she CAN walk, but the vet said that her knees are starting to go out. She walks just fine but she has been struggling standing on her hind legs like she used too. >>5160397They claimed that they would need to do the surgery to remove her ovaries and uterus along with removing the tumor and then reconstructing the area so she could pee normally, all of this needs to be done by a specialist which is why it's so expensive. They also offered a cheaper option where they'll do the procedure but only remove half of the tumor, and I guess not do as good a job at reconstructing it? Which would cost 3k.
>>5160408>half the tumor for half the moneythis feels like a simpson joke.
>>5160412Yes it sounded ridiculous when I heard it but apparently those are their only options, thinking of just going to another vet honestly.
>>5160413Get a second opinion for sure
>>5160149No pet insurance?
>>5160408Can you remove the other half yourself before they stitch her back up?
