before you get married to someone you might want to discuss this. some cultures/families/people would happily spend a hundred thousand plus on chemotherapy etc on an old pet, while others draw the line at $200. understand their values.
Unfortunately, it’s not always that black & white with an assured outcome. I just had to make the difficult decision to put my cat down, kidney failure.
As a result, everything in her was shutting down. It would have taken several days and thousands of dollars just to stabilize her at an inpatient animal hospital. The cost aside, it would have required much more stress, pain, and separation for her, with pretty much the same unfortunate result. So I declined, and it was the right thing to do. I miss her terribly…
