>dog can't walk up and down the stairs without help anymore
>>5173060Speak to your vet, anon. My dog's back legs were going and he got an injection and was acting like his young self again for about a month. It faded unfortunately and it was shortly after his death but give him your all. Money comes and goes. In 10 years time, you'll look back and kick yourself for prioritizing money over your dog. They love you with every fiber of their being, anon. You gotta give them back the same. If they had money, they'd do it for you
>>5173322Disagree. It'll be an unpopular opinion on /an/ for obvious reasons, but animals are not worth spending large sums of money on. They just don't live long enough.A month of having 'his old self again' is meaningless.
>>5173323I agree, anon. They should pull the plug on you the second the opportunity arises because giving you another half a year of life isn't worth the money.
>>5173323>>5173326Nah that was harsh, you know it's an unpopular opinion and you're entitled to it. The same way I would splurge on my kid while they're a kid because they'll never be a kid again, I'll spoil my pets because they entered life and ended up in my care, it's unfair to take away the opportunity for them to live their best life because I don't wanna spend the money.
>>5173326Would you rather leave your children some inheritance or just give it all to the medical industrial complex?
>>5173328I can do both. Try and make it sound bad all you want, if me treating my dog's ailments means money goes to people I hate, so be it. I can't treat it otherwise.
>>5173326That happens anyway, you know. Go to any hospice, nobody cares about you after a certain point. My older relatives were even told not to get surgery because they'd be dead within a year. Got the surgery anyway, and dead within a year. Nurses wouldn't even help him walk to the bathroom. We had to do everything.
>>5173322My dog lives with my parents and I'm sure they took her to the vet and spent money on her. She seems fine otherwise, she just sleeps a lot and can't go up stairs and doesn't jump on people anymore
