sandyhas3chucks Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 A while back Egluntine wrote on a post a statement I have just seen again... It has been one of the most useful yardsticks that I try hard to use... I always ask myself if I'm prolonging a life or prolonging a death Sometimes age and circumstances help to determine this, sometimes it is not so clear. some 3 months ago one Vet gave a very poor prognosis and an appointment was made to PTS 4 days later but sooner if needed. I decided to give her a chance and another Vet drained the fluid from her abdomen. along with a course of antibiotics from the first Vet. (she was swollen but not ill) 6 weeks on and she was still great but started visittng the nest. she had a Delvosterone injection to stop eggs forming.. "£20 Total.... she is still flat bottomed and well... Never easy to Judge but I still keep that statement in mind I always ask myself if I'm prolonging a life or prolonging a death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I second that. I too, try to keep this in mind when deciding things at the vets. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I third that,sometimes it would be nice to apply it to people,I have a relative who seems to be suffering unduly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 It is a hard one to judge when you have seen them bounce back from what seems certain death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
