My friend has an $8000 dog through hips/surgeries.
it's a tough call, but it comes down to quality of life.
I put one of my Llamas down for a clogged wee-wee, he couldn't pee. Serious, he couldn't pee.
$3000-4000 surgery on him with no guarantee of them unclogging the blockage?
or $85 house call with sleepy shot from the vet and I dug a nice sunny spot in front of our lower acreage pond with a track-hoe for him, Zepher the Red Wooled One. Great packer llama for sure.
Either way no easy call.
