Many Years of Dog Treatment Requires $100,000, Will You Save It?
My real experience is that when I had 60,000 yuan, I raised a golden retriever for nine years, and it suffered from lumbar spinal disc herniation pressing on the central nerves, resulting in paralysis of both hind limbs. From admission check to discharge, it took about 40,000. Although surgery was performed, it didn't cure it.
I don't regret it, I'm looking for hope, because I know that if it's paralyzed, it won't live for long. I want this hope, and I understand the saying 'a sick person's bed is not a son's'.
It's a pity that the surgery failed, the doctor won't give you a guarantee that it will definitely cure it, you can't pursue anyone's responsibility.
I took it home to take care of it, when it was first paralyzed, I didn't know how to take care of it, its feces were scattered all over the floor, its urine soaked its fur. I asked the doctor what to do, and he said to teach me how to press its bladder and squeeze its urine with my fingers, and I learned, and I learned.
Wearing disposable gloves and squeezing the feces, after washing my hands, I still smelled the stench, but I didn't complain.
The urine flooded my belly red, I knew it was like a child, so I washed it every day and applied red buttocks cream. It was okay.
Its anus had a contracting function at first, but gradually it disappeared, and the feces couldn't be pushed near the anus. My fingers were too short, how could I squeeze the feces inside? Because of the irregular defecation, its appetite decreased and it didn't want to eat. I asked the doctor what to do, and he said to insert a tube.
So I learned to use suppositories with glycerin, and when glycerin didn't work, I used the solution for inserting a tube. It was okay.
It could finally defecate smoothly, and I felt its relief. It started to eat again.
For me, every stage is a torment of spirit and body, not to mention it for it.
During this time, I countless times wanted to euthanize it to end the mutual pain, and I also consulted with the doctor, this situation also suggested me to do so, but I couldn't bear it, because it could still eat.
The doctor said its body's endocrine function was gradually declining, and it might only last for six months, or three months at most.
Later, it lay dying for half a year, on May 2, 2019, it left me.
You ask me if I regret spending 40,000 yuan on the surgery? I don't regret it.
You ask me if I'm tired taking care of the paralyzed golden retriever? Tired, both physically and mentally, I'm afraid its muscles will atrophy, so at night I would wake up countless times to turn it over and massage it, sometimes I even had to sleep next to it, and when I got up to work in the morning, I would continue to take care of it, every day revolved around it.
You ask me if I regret spending 40,000 yuan? I regret, it's my own money, bit by bit earned, but I was willing to spend it on the surgery without regret.
I feel at peace, I treated it well.
If 100,000 yuan is all your family's money, I advise you not to perform the surgery, no matter what disease it has, if you can take care of it until the end, you will be at peace.
If you have 500,000 yuan, you can consider it, but you need to think about the consequences of surgery failure.
No matter how you choose, remember, you really love it, and it truly loves you, it respects all your choices, and it goes along with your choices
Hold on.
Finally, if it leaves, your day will be better than the last, it will bless you until forever.
