How much would you spend on your sick dog? I just spent $1500. Where would you draw the line?

Q. MY dog had to have emergency surgery. She is a young lab of six years old. She had gotten an infection after her heat cycle and became quite toxix. She had pyometra. So after I cried for a day because she might die, and because I didn't know where the money would come from to pay the bill I decided I would pay the bill no matter what I had to give up afterward. How much would you pay to save the life of your sick dog?

A. I would spend as much as needed. I dont have much money but I would spend it all on my dog. She is my life!! I couldn't stand losing her.. Everytime something is wrong I get scared that she will die..


Is it illegal to transport sick dogs without health certificate?
Q. If so who can i report this too. The rescue "wags and walks" based in los angeles, who i was formerly fostering for( until i found out how they unethically treat their dogs) ships their sick dogs to tennessee without health certificates. I am pretty sure this is illegal but who do i report this to? any answers would be greatly appreciated

A. The state law enforcement and PETA and the humane society...I hope they get caught and rot in... well sorry so not nice!!!!


How long does kennel cough last in young dogs?
Q. I'm planning to adopt a dog, but it turns out it got kennel cough. It's only four months old, so how long until the dog would be better if treated? I don't want to bring home a still slightly sick dog because I have an old dog and I don't want her to get sick.

A. First get your other dog treated using the nasal dose (it works better). The cough can last several weeks and is highly contagious. It's not life threatening but can cause complications in an already sick dog. You don't want to expose your other dog to it until you have it cleared up. You will need to keep it in quarantine until it is past the contageous stages.
