    +2 to that.
    Why do we seek medical help for our children when they are sick? Why do we have operations? Same thing, we see a need/suffering and in this instance we are able to do something about it for them.

    I killed my pet cockrel because he started crowing at about 5 every morning. The neighbours still don't like me.

    I look at it the other way
    keeping a pet or a person alive who is suffering without realistic hope is just plain selfish

    I killed one of my Budgies as a kid. Had a secondhand cage and the latch to keep the door open was broken. I felt sorry for the two Budgies being stuck in a cage all day, so I tied a bit of string to the door to keep it open so they could fly around my room while I was at school. Came home to a dead little Snowie, he was hanging upside down with the string wrapped around his little leg. I cried my heart out! I placed him in a wooden box that I had made at Woodwork, dug a hole in the back yard and buried him.
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    Yeap had that unfortunate experience! Had a Golden Retriever, he was getting old. Became sick, started coughing up this slimy watery like substance, very lethargic and sad. Bundled him up in the car and took him to the vets. Vet said he had water around his heart, there was medication - very expensive, but can't be sure it would work. I was in Gisborne at the time, no job, looking after my father who was on a sickness benefit and going through Radiotherapy. We could not afford the medication, and so it was decided to put Khan down. I couldn’t stay in the room while the vet injected him - I wish like hell I could take that back!!

    Good point.
    That is when 'your' financial reality dictates what you must do. Which really does suck, if you're skint...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I have five pet cockrels the neighbours do not like but I am not going to kill any of 'them' untill they stop their BOOM BOOM boxes and driving around at two in the morning like Hoons..

    Is it long term fixable or just a patch that will keep the animal alive for a bit longer? And for whose benefit?
    I've spent serious money on dogs that had back problems inherent in the breed, hoping that it would work. It didn't.
    one of the hardest things I've ever done was to have them euthanised, even though I know it was a release from pain for them.
    Keeping them alive wasn't doing them any favours, it would have just been selfish on my part.
    over 10 years ago, I still miss the little shits every day
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    OLD age is Old age your body is shutting down that is the time bugs like to attack us all, if young and fixable then that would be another decision.
