Well.. the way I look at it, its not an option for me to just let medical treatment slide, and my family DOESN'T have lot of money. A few months ago, Riot ate some Advil PM, and was throwing up and on the brink of death (liver failure). It was 8 or 9 pm so I had to rush her to the E-Vet, and the whole thing cost me a little over $1,000. Yeah, it hurt my wallet a LOT- and I ate a lot of mac n cheese and spaghetti after that, but you better believe I wasn't going to let a 15 month old dog die because I couldn't really afford it. I had to borrow money, owed a lot of people, but I did it. She's alive, and thats all that matters.
Now... do I think someone shouldn't own a pet if they can't do that? I don't know. On the one hand I desperately want to say yes, but on the other hand I think its a tough question. Is a pet better off in a shelter or having a 3 years in a nice home and then getting cancer which the owners can't afford to fix? I don't know. Its too hard for me to say.
All I can say is that had I let Riot die that day, I couldn't live with myself.
However, I can say with some certainty, if you can't afford a $2,000 surgery, you have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS BREEDING. Seriously. Odds be damned, no one, and I mean no one, who can't afford a c-section, should be breeding ANY litter. I'm sorry, thats just the way it is.
