I'm sure your good habits will do their magic. <br />Hoping for a little magic for Rocco too.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384272602826948777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488136.post-32976112121397172782007-01-29T10:18:00.000-07:002007-01-29T10:18:00.000-07:00Oh geeze Flo - I haven't had time to check the blo...Oh geeze Flo - I haven't had time to check the blogs since last Thursday and was shocked to see so much has happened since then. This is just horrible news about Rocco. I'm sorry that things are not going well.<br />I became a somewhat bitter over a similar experience with my German Shephard a few year ago. He developed an intestinal tortion and needed emergency surgery or be put down. The surgery was $2,ooo. I asked more questions - how hard is recovery for them - pain endured - chances for recurrence etc. We decided given the high chance for recurrence and painful projected recovery to not go through with it. I was just angry about the whole ordeal. Why are we forced to put a price on the health of our animals? You can't help but feel guilty if you don't opt for surgery - like a cheap skate if you opt out of expensive surgery. If we had gone with the surgery, I'm sure I'd have still felt guilty for putting the dog through the pain. Your damned if you do and damned if you don't. I hated being put into the position af making such a tough decision. I've not had a dog since and probably never will again.<br />The decisions you make for Rocco WILL be the best for you and him both, I'm just sorry that you have to make them. Keep up posted.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085935630796026980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488136.post-85407891010099614462007-01-29T07:12:00.000-07:002007-01-29T07:12:00.000-07:00My heart goes out to you about Rocco.
