My little terrier cross rescue dog, Paddy, has just been diagnosed with diabetes. Since 3rd Feb has cost almost £600 in vets bills. What an awful dilemma, we love him, obviously, but he's a dog. Where do you draw the line, moneywise? If he was our child, we would find it somehow, sell the house, or whatever it took, but a little mongrel, with no breeding, or value other than our love for him - have to ask ourselves if we can afford to carry on? He is only young, so we could potentially be shelling out for another 10 years. Am devastated, as our other little rescue dog got a massive tumour and had to be put to sleep prematurely just 10 months ago. I still miss her everyday.
