Dude, I’m with you too. My 9yr old pup ruptured a disc last year, nearly died, and we paid $12k at the time for emergency surgery. 6 months after putting down our 10 yr old pup due to cancer. Another ruptured disc 3 months ago, another $$$ medical bill. They aren’t just animals, part of the family. Was scheduled for a family holiday back to Britain in June but cancelled due to nursing the pup. People have looked at me weird at work cos I do all this for my dogs but they are my kids!! Hang in there!
