medvet is expensive as well. my yorkshire/malteese has acute lukemia and the gave him days to a couple weeks to live. that was 4 months ago and the treatments are helping prolong his life. the money does not bother us, but i hate to see my dog doing so well and not knowing when he is going to go. they told us at the best case he will not last more than 8 months. we are in myrtle right now and he is doing great. we have spent probably over 5k the last 4 months taking care of him. i would do anything to help him out. my parents had to put down their 6 yr old boxer because of a brain tumor. they regret trying to get him treatment.
