calm down.. I'm not coming to fix up your dog nor anyone elses..It's just what-if scenario, if you did not had the 10k to drop on your dog would you let him die or try to save him? Actually not in a very distant time being a vet wasn't a good paying job at all, I had an uncle that was a vet , he was pretty uneducated & pretty daft and earned pennies for his work , I remember him doing only something like a 1year course to get his ''degree''.
