Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3807281, member: 489"] When my pup (pictured in my avatar) Amber was 6 she had an accident in a dog park. It was a head on collision with a Golden going after a bouncing ball full speed. At the time they both fell, she stayed down an extra second or 2 but got up and kept playing and was perfectly fine until 3 days later she couldn't walk. We took her local they had no clue but were afraid of cancer but had no way of telling. Had to bring her to Tufts in MA to see exactly wha was up and just for that it was going to be over 2K to find out. Then after bringing her there to find out we had good news and of course bad news. Good news is it wasn't cancer bad news was she had a double herniated disc which would not get better without a surgery which would run 5-6K. Of course she was our baby despite not being told it was guaranteed we had to give her the chance at a good life again. Long story short after weeks and weeks of recovery, walking her around all day with a sling etc etc she survived and within 4-5 months was running like a puppy again and lived to over 16 lost her Aug'19. Ok so in regards to this thread I am unsure of what would've been covered but if you wouldn't make a decision to let your pet live unless you had it, and I get some can't afford it, then why not have some? I can tell you they loved our dog at Tufts and were so damn happy we wanted to go through with the surgery because so many people say no and put them away. It was fun to visit her every night for 2 weeks and be with the people that helped her live and have 10 more years. Do what you can whether it's insurance or whatever to keep these family members alive unless it means they will only be in pain no matter. [/QUOTE]
