I lost my first dog a few years ago to kidney failure after his 2nd surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his thigh. I know 900 dollars is a lot of money and that it is going to be hard to come up with that, but at the same time, if I had the option of 900 dollars to have a HEALTHY dog for a couple more years again, I would spend the 900 dollars. I am probably more attatched to my animals than most on here, and that probably has to do with me being pretty young at 16 and having my animals there all my life when I needed them. Basically what I am saying is don't give up on her, but if the surgery is not a near for sure fix of her problems, then at the same time don't put her through any more pain. We put down another of our dogs while I was home for spring break after kidney failure because of old age. I hated to do it, but it got to the point on the day that we put her down that it hurt me to look at her. In a practical view, try to find a second opinion. Even if it means driving a little ways, it could very easily save you a lot of money. Also, don't be afraid to ask around for some small donations from your church or friends, I would help a friend in need of money for a family pet, especially one that is only 2 years old. You never will get all the money you spend on a pet back in cash, but you do get a whole lot of love, but do remember if there is nothing that can be done to get the dog out of pain, do what is best and put it to sleep. It is much nicer to have your dog fall asleep in your lap than to go be in pain. Good luck and my prayers are with you, your family, and your dog. Hurst
