Not to mention bloody expensive as well. The fees they charge are little short of outrageous.

Lets keep it civil folks. I have no beef at all for afters comments as they were perfectly reasonable to ask. I can say Harry is rocking. If I thought anything less I would hate myself but decided to try and give him a new lease of life. He is now happy, loving his food, loving his trips out to the garden and further afield. I think as owners the ultimate responsibility is knowing when to call it a day for our pet but Harry is not at that stage yet. I will do it when it is time and it is not yet so this was meant to be a happy tale and it is for me and Harry so far.

you're welcome.
put it this way: mad old lady goes to vet with dodgy pussy. vet says "this cat is ill". mad old lady says "you're wrong i know my felix better than you" > cat suffers

I am being civil. I was backing you and being called stupid for it.

this with knobs on
I have probably been to, worked with, and had stand up rows with more vets than most and have come to the opinion that all have the animals health uppermost in their minds
some can be wrong(we have two cats living with us that the vets wanted to PTS one has lived on for 12 years and the other 8 years) simply because I did know the animal better than the vet........but that is me.
it really gets back to that old word TRUST again, if you trust your vet and can discuss any problem with them as you would your Doctor then everyone should be happy including your pet.
long live Harry

I agree with people suggesting if the dog is in pain, then keeping him alive is selfish. But you know your dog, US. If he wants to fight on, rightly so. But when the time comes, let the old boy go with dignity and class.
I'm not sure I'd ever be able to make the call on my cat though. It would be a massive wrench. I'll never have a cat like him, no question.
Long live Harry.

You've probably made your point by now.

US, can you post some photos of Harry for those of us that do not have the pleasure of your dog's acquaintance?
Thanks.
Thanks.

At 13 my retired Greyhound was given a similar diagnosis by a Vet.
He gave him an anti-biotic shot at my request and he came good, lasted til he was 15.

did you actually say "do one" to the vet?
