I've watched dogs in wheelchairs in the usa, that's not the way to go. I spent thousands of hours while training my last dog and I loved Kissa to bits, but she had been acting strange and a simple xray showed her brain had a weird shadow.

I put her down the next day. I was not going to even considering treating a tumour in her brain with tiny kids. A leg, I would have since she was 3 when she died.

Kissa was trained to take down grown men so my kids would've had zero chance to defend themselves if she would've gone for them. Kinda made it an easy decision.

I'll be working on my condescending bs. Clearly I need my ball fur to be fluffed to perfection before commenting in this shit.

Oh, my great aunt's dog tore an ACL a few years back. The dog was small, my aunt was nearing mid 70's. Then I told her go go for the surgery since she needed the dog. The vet agreed and I absolutely adore her ethics. She called me to ask exactly how instrumental the dog was to the old lady. She didnt do the surgery to the dog, she was helping the old lady.

I told her the truth that my great aunt prolly couldnt live without the dog so she did the surgery. The dog lived on for 3 years. As hard as it is to torture animals to benefit us humans, at times some finds good vets who see us all both worthy of the ear we breathe.

And Joekerr there are PLENTY of tripod dogs who go on walks every day.

My Hound of the Realm is now 8 years into her life with hip dysplasia. They wanted to do either total hip replacement ($8k, no movement/weight bearing for 10-12 WEEKS) or just cut the ball out of the joint ($4k, 2-4 weeks restriction on movement/weight) We chose option 3, take her home and leave her be. She hops most time, but when she gets the zoomies in the back yard, it's all paws on deck!

Cutting off the ball of the femur, and then just letting her deal with that seemed like horrible animal abuse.

Worst horror that exists is found in history books.

Currently reading "Midnight in Chernobyl"

The vet did present the surgery option, however, we are disinclined to go that route for a few reasons:

1. No guarantee it won't tear again, and surgery or no surgery, there is still a 40-50% chance the other leg will blow according to the vet (this surprised me).

2. Apparently there can be little complications from it (usually easy to repair by the sounds of it, but another $1K in work if you get the complications)

3. Surgery for one leg will cost about $5,500...but given the odds of the other leg going, you basically need to budget $11K.

4. He's an older dog, if he were younger and had more of his life ahead of him, I'd be more inclined to pursue the surgery.

5. He doesn't act like he's in pain, aside from holding his foot up, still the same gentle dog, no change in his behaviour in other regards, still thinks he ought to be taken on walks and gets very excited when he thinks he's going...but is constantly depressed because we leave him behind.


So if we can brace it and he can put some weight on it, I can start taking him for walks again, which he basically lives for. That and tennis balls. Which he isn't permitted anymore...no bursts of movement for him.

Poor pupper!

It's tough making those decisions for sure man.

Another tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico.

Here's a confession.

I'm tired of these motherfucking hurricanes in the motherfucking Gulf!

I’m so f’ing stressed. Moving day is Tuesday and thanks to my buyers changing things up last minute (you can stay as long as you want, we’re not moving in until November sometime) I will be living in chaos for a week or two while work is being done in the house around me

Shush, I'm trying to help.

Fuck no, I only hit from one side of the plate. I’m just done with men. I’m too old for this shit. I don’t need a man to complete me.

And I don’t need that either. Men are different than women. You guys will explode if you don’t get any. I’ll just jump on the gas pedal and tear up the roadway. I’ll be fine. .

Good for you to realize that!
Might want to set some money aside for impending fines, I believe that right foot is really going to get a workout!
