it was a jerk answer as far as I am concerned, everyone has there own opnion on how a dog should be treated... do you people actually read the OP before posting charactor statements, (demeaning mine) I never critized her for her decision, I said "It just saddens me that she didn't feel there was another option" and your right every injury is different... as far as putting a dog through anything surgery, therapy, what ever all options again should be weighed.... my dogs are my family, I certainly would not have a surgery that I needed just because it was gonna be painful or take along time to heal or was expensive....when you take on the resposibilty of owning a dog you know there will be expenses of some kind someday if your not willing to do that than you shouldn't own a dog. And of course there comes a point when quality of life comes first....a knee injury isn't a death sentence or at least it shouldn't be and I don't give a crap who likes it.
