I had a similar scenario when my cat was hit by a car, many years ago. He had a fractured pelvis, broken legs and his digestive system was done for, but the vets told us they could save him with enough expensive procedures, and we tried. Eventually it became obvious that it wasn't going to work, and we had him put down.
After that I learned never to keep someone alive out of false hope and an unwillingness to let them go. Sad fact is that most vets will happily advocate unnecessary surgery on animals because they get paid per procedure, so they will feed you this false hope and take your money from you for their own gain. And because it's only an animal, they can can get away with it. It's very important to find a vet with integrity. |
realy, if you have a good vet, they will stand by your side if you choose to euthenize and never say, "no; you really shouldn't do that"
