Sounds like she just couldn't care less. Let alone drop some coin to save a friends life.

All I can say is that I would have been outraged. RebelOne Feb 2012 #1

ever since we had to put our collie mix to sleep nadine_mn Feb 2012 #2

She's upset that her dog IS NOT Dead? alphafemale Feb 2012 #3

Yes what is wrong with you? whistler162 Feb 2012 #5

No. She just didn't want to pay for it. alphafemale Feb 2012 #7

What story are you reading???? whistler162 Feb 2012 #9

She's upset her dog is alive and happy. alphafemale Feb 2012 #10

Maybe you should read it again, instead of complaining no one else read it. LisaL Feb 2012 #15

Actually what was said auburngrad82 Feb 2012 #66

Well I bothered to read the story, and the vet didn't tell her there was no chance. LisaL Feb 2012 #13

They don't say what the cost was, though. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #17

But it also said the dog was viciously attacked...she may have thought nadine_mn Feb 2012 #25

The vet needs a good ass kicking. bluedigger Feb 2012 #4

The vet needs a big LisaL Feb 2012 #14

As does the rescue group, frankly. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #16

Oh you have got to be kidding me. LisaL Feb 2012 #18

She signed the dog over under fraudulent circumstances. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #19

Oh for crying out loud! LisaL Feb 2012 #20

I'm not upset about that. Not sure where you got that. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #21

The little girl didn't lose the dog because the vet lied to mom. LisaL Feb 2012 #24

The mom's choice was based on fraudulent information, though. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #28

What was the truth of the situation? LisaL Feb 2012 #30

What if the rescue group offered it? knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #35

That's not what rescue groups do. LisaL Feb 2012 #40

I agree, why doesn't the rescue group help pay for the surgery and keep the "family" intact? riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #51

I think this dog rather "suffer" from being rehomed than being dead. LisaL Feb 2012 #55

Uhm, can you clarify this post? It's pretty much a word salad... nt riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #59

About your edit: so the vet got paid twice. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #22

I don't see anywhere in the article that the vet charged the rescue group to save the dog. LisaL Feb 2012 #23

So, the rescue group got free care? knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #27

WTF makes you think that original vet was the one caring for the injured dog? LisaL Feb 2012 #41

"I would want a new dog, too." alphafemale Feb 2012 #26

She lost her dog due to fraudulent care and information, though. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #29

She was told this dog had a chance to live if she paid. LisaL Feb 2012 #31

But "a new dog" would make it ok. Animals are replaceable like furniture. nt alphafemale Feb 2012 #32

Yes. Obviously. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #34

Apples and oranges. Appendectomies have high success rates. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #42

And if they didn't? LisaL Feb 2012 #46

Like I said, apples and oranges. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #65

Hardly a chance. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #33

Why should have vet told her the dog's chances were 50-50 if they weren't? LisaL Feb 2012 #37

The vet should have been honest--that's my main point. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #43

If you sign something, you need to read what it is that you are signing. LisaL Feb 2012 #58

I don't disagree. Upset humans, however, tend not to read closely. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #64

On the other hand, my husband cannot stand the idea of participating in 1monster Feb 2012 #12

No, I'm sorry...if your pet is being put to sleep, it is time to man the fuck up and be there TheCruces Feb 2012 #38

I have to agree with you on this point. n/t MadrasT Feb 2012 #48

There are some vet clinics where you are not allowed to be with the pet, per insurance regs riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #52

I have never heard of that before TheCruces Feb 2012 #60

Nope, pet clinics too. I told the story of one of my dogs that I had to take to the clinic riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #62

Yeah, I know it's not a problem at the vet I'm planning on taking my dog to, if needed TheCruces Feb 2012 #63

Something I am wondering... jmowreader Feb 2012 #39

Interesting point. knitter4democracy Feb 2012 #44

I really don't see the need to make stuff up. LisaL Feb 2012 #45

The vet certainly did jmowreader Feb 2012 #54

Wouldn't you bring the body home for a burial? sammytko Feb 2012 #53

We rent a home - no where to bury, both of our dogs were cremated nadine_mn Feb 2012 #56

Well if the dog is cremated there are still ashes. LisaL Feb 2012 #57

I believe there might be a case for malpractice. At the least the vet committed fraud. yellowcanine Feb 2012 #61
