Probably responded a bit harshly to Siberian's chastising of those who have a different perspective. Everyone's financial picture is different and they ought to make an appropriate judgement, especially when extreme expenses would have an impact on family and children. Not everyone here is dropping mega bucks on Porsches, and such generalizations tend to get under my skin.
With three dogs that own our house (almost 300lbs worth), I can assure you that we're dog lovers. But I still respect those who make difficult decisions and will always support logic over emotion, especially when the family can suffer as a result. These are personal decisions and should be respected.
My 2 cents.
Update....I see crownarch's vet ran the gammut for less than 1/3 of what the OP's vet quoted for a day of observation. "Pay the $1600 or he's your problem"....not very compassionate. We happen to have a great vet who is very concerned to bill people reasonably. One of our dogs was an animal shelter rescue. He neutered him for 15 bux as a result. Good guy.
