    I'm just reading your post, so it's possible the decision is already made by now. In any case, Cocoa (my choc lab) and I are sending out compassion and healing thoughts to all the Amoses, especially Abby. We hope all goes well for all of you.

    Awww...sorry to hear that sad news.

    we recently went through the cost vs. health problem with one of our dogs. She was having severe neck pain, yelping at night and during the day when she tried to stand up. The MRI alone would be $1000 and the surger would be another $2000 if needed. we decided to investigate a more holistic approach. In the end, it worked out, but it was a hard decision. You'll make the right decision, so hurt yourself too much in the process.

    Sending thoughts your way.

    I love my animals to death so I know how hard this is for you all... I pray things work out but don't fear putting the animal down. It's a painless way to go. Hard on us, but easy on them.

    God bless you have the strength to get through this and be there and strong for your Dane.

    All of the Deak household is thinking warm positive healing thoughts for Abby and all her people, and sending swarms of butterflies to protect and take away pain....

    I know it will be hard to do, but please update us!

    Hugs and butterflies,
    ~T~
    The butterflies are within you.

    So sorry to hear. That's awful. I finally had to put my puppy down last July at age 10 months because he was born with bad kidneys. I think it is also important to think about the dog's suffering when weighing the cost of extensive treatment versus the hope for a meaningful recovery.

    Whatever you decide, we're all here for you. {{{{{{{ }}}}}}}}}}
