Only you can make that decision. I know you will do the right thing. If your dog’s doctor drops you, that might be a good thing. A second or third opinion is never a bad thing. The doctor might do you a favor if she does drop him.
We have a really scary [to me] appointment with a new vet tomorrow and rather than start a whole new thread, I thought I’d just bump this one up.
Please pray they’ll be able to find a good treatment for his leg and not instantly jump to the “chop it off” choice as he stills uses it, even with a limp.
This is pretty much our last hope as far as that goes.
He is doing *much* better than I am and has been put on a diet because he’s getting fat from being being spoiled and not running wild anymore.
He’s not happy about that at all and has a wicked aim with his empty food bowls.
[I have learned to keep one eye on him and to duck, fast]
Yet another of his “incredibly atypical presentation symptoms” for OSA, which no vet has been able to figure out, so nobody really knows FOR SURE what is going on with his leg.
I am not willing to just take the words of vets who want the easy way.
My boy deserves better than that.
Prayers greatly needed for him and for me.
I am not coping well with this, at all.
