Posting to get things off my chest

[WCW]

Cinders, I agree that the txt message was just what needed to happen. I hope it has worked in a positive way and that your H hasn't made it tough on you for doing that.

I wanted to ask if you've thought about getting a 2nd opinion about your dog? I had a dog that got kicked in the leg and was going into shock. I got him to the vet and when they read the xray films they told me the bone was shattered and referred me to a doggie orthopedic surgeon that would cost me thousands of dollars. Luckily I wasn't able to get an appointment there until days later and had time to do more research on my own, found a different vet that was even closer and could take my dog right away. When this vet looked at the films he knew the joint was dislocated and the small bone alongside was fractured as a result of the dislocation, simple surgery (and many casts and bandages) fixed the leg, my dog recovered just fine, and it cost me less than half of who they recommended.
It's so hard to lose a faithful dog companion, I wish you all the best. (((Cinders)))
