It's so worrying. Hope it goes well. My dog has had two cruciat ligament ops in the last two years which has been very stressful so know what you are going through. We've got a referral next week for whether anything can be done about the arthritis which has set in in her front legs now. She only 10. Seems like only yesterday she was a puppy 😥
Is pet insurance worth it where you are from? In Canada it is so expensive that you are better off putting that amount of money for insurance into a rainy day fund and using that in emergencies.
@shrmanator I get Nationwide pet insurance as an add on benefit through my employer, Michigan State University. So a small amount comes out of my paycheck monthly & it has definitely been worth it for us. Happy is 13.5 & has a lot going on, so I feel fortunate to be able to get her the care she needs.
BTW please try to spend time with your pets and look after their emotional needs as much as possible to avoid the feelings of guilt and regret when something unfortunate happen to them in future.
I think it would be a lot more ethical if we eliminated domesticated species. No more starving strays, or or pets being beaten or food animals in the factory farming industry living miserable lives to be ground up into pet food. stop the whole enterprise.

Your pup reminds me of my own old companion, Jordi, who I miss terribly.

She no longer has a gall bladder or spleen but hopefully she’ll be feeling a lot better soon. /2
And with that, a PSA: If you are able to, get pet insurance 🐾
