No problem, had dogs when I was younger and know how much the damn vets bills were...

Ever though about getting pet insurance?

demik · « **Reply #103 on:** Tue, 12 June 2012, 10:55:23 »

Yeah I have. Problem is, their insurance isn't like ours. And I'd still need the money up front then wait for a refund.

Vyr1s · « **Reply #104 on:** Tue, 12 June 2012, 10:57:00 »

Be careful, I dunno about USA but in CAN the pet insurance doesn't cover any major surgery or anything expensive.
Only _barely_ helps with checkups and cheaper meds.

I don't really understand how you can put money for surgery for your pet, but that's me

You've clearly never had a dog. Dogs are the best.

Most dog owners consider them part of the family. Dogs are loyal and have personality. Great companions. We have four dogs and a cat. But the cat thinks he's a dog.

Oh, they are each definitely all dog. Except our black lab thinks she's a chihuahua like our oldest dog. Then we have a Belgian Malinois and a mixed breed (part red heeler, part boxer, part

).

Have you ever seen a cat come when it is called? The only cat instincts he has are for hunting. He has now acquired a taste for wild game...mice, lizards, birds, etc.

How many dogs do you have, demik?

so you're saying if you had a pet that needed surgery to stay alive, instead of saving it you'd put it down?
if that's so, then wow. horrible

A new pet costs less than the surgery. And it lasts longer too !

Cynez · « **Reply #117 on:** Tue, 12 June 2012, 14:27:12 »

Some people just don't feel the same way about pets. Worked with a guy willing to take in a dog that was a stray and such, but if it needed an expensive surgery he'd "take it out back".

I had to give my dog to my mom to take care of since my new apartment wouldn't let her stay cuz she's too big. Drove her from Georgia to Connecticut...

itznfb · « **Reply #118 on:** Tue, 12 June 2012, 14:43:11 »

I kind of felt the way Djuzuh did at one point. I had a dog growing up but was really too young to look at her as part of the family. When I moved in with my girlfriend I just found her cat to be a nuisance especially since he hated me at first. Then a couple years ago we got a kitten and since my girlfriend had "her" cat the new kitten basically became mine. She is afraid of everyone but us and one day a guy came to clean the chimney and I thought she got out and ran away. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so devastated and heart broken. I felt like I let her down and there is no way I could ever think of just replacing her. Luckily she was hiding some place we couldn't find her and she came out after a couple hours. It took me having a pet of my own as an adult to really get on the same level as other pet owners.

I hope everything turns out well for Mika. Unplanned expenses are rough. I'll gladly donate what I can if you need more for Mika's surgery.

edit: Oh yeah... that's "my" cat in my avatar.

REVENGE · « **Reply #119 on:** Tue, 12 June 2012, 14:47:42 »

Mika looks lovely, glad you got what you needed demik. In case you need more, send me a PM.

Thanks. I just need good news after her surgery and lab tests. Hopefully she will be able to go in early next week.

Agreed.

It's funny, I used to have a "pet" cow when my parents had a place with land. They moved and had to sell her and their other cow. I would never have eaten Blossom, but I do eat lots of beef. :/

Thank you Lukasevic, this video has been slowly eating away at my soul since I first watched it, and I'm sorry but I had to jump on the opportunity to post it as a relevant "comment". I would have to say that your conclusion is by far the most coherent synopsis I have seen for this insane video!

this a thousand million times.

a pet isn't just a best friend and a family member but an inseparable part of your life that centers you. when i was 8, my mother brought home a golden puppy that was my best friend for the next 13 years. i still think about him every day, and if he were alive today and suffering i would sell every keyboard, gadget, the clothes off my back to get him better.

Talked to vet today. She needs to go in for blood work to see if she can handle being put under anesthesia. I should be able to take her on Saturday and schedule surgery for Wednesday.

I just found the thread. I with the best for the dog.

In July 2005 I met a redhead whose dog just had surgery. I asked for her phone number so that I could ask how the dog is. I married her a year later and we now have two beautiful daughters! So you never know what good might come out of an ostensibly bad experience such as this.

demik · « **Reply #149 on:** Sat, 16 June 2012, 19:48:58 »

quick update for anybody that cares.

took her into the vet this morning (around 8:30) so they can take out blood for her tests. poor vet tech came out the backroom sweaty as hell from holding her down. this vet is so awesome. great staff and cheap compared to others. anyway, they told me they'd call me on monday with the results and hopefully i'll be able to schedule her surgery for wednesday.

if anybody needs any proof (bills) i'd be happy to post pics. though i'd like to think im trustworthy enough that it wont be needed. but if so, just let me know.
