    Okay, I have to.give a non polygon answer. What animal? How old? What's the condition and is it fixable?

      I demand an answer specifically from the Yoshi style fighting polygon

      but it's a german shephard and it has some kind of recurring infection that we suppressed with powerful antibiotics and then it came back and now we have to go to a specialist which will surely be another 3-5 thousand dollars

            Is there any chance this dog I'd gonna be able to live a good life afterwards or isthis basically long term palliative care? If the dog can come out of this okay and live decent then I'd ssaynthere isn't much other choice, if it's just holding off death and the pup isn't enjoying life the I'd say pull the plug. It's what I'd want.

              Yeah, I don't think there's a choice. The dog is living pretty well while he's on medicine, but the medicine is very expensive, and eventually it's likely he will develop an immunity.

              Just forced to take the L, as usual. kiryu-pain

                If you enjoy the dog them it's an investment in more dog enjoyment. Maybe think of it thst way?
