That's where me and most people disagree. If the cost of the treatment is more than about 2x the cost of a new dog, I'd just make them comfortable or put them down and go get another dog.

Sorry if that seems callous, but I don't get too attached to animals. I love them, just never had a problem with them getting sick or dying or anything like that. Such is life.

I won't call it callous.

I like that you are least consider treatement, and I wouldn't want my dog to suffer.

But I do. Probably because I don't have kids, they are my kids, but I also won't let them suffer if no other options are available. It's all about perspective, and I can appreciate that.

To each his own, I got no problem with it. There are people overboard the other way who will spend their last nickel having surgeries and procedures done to keep the animal alive even if it's suffering and has no quality of life. They can't let go or face the grief.
