Between the massive cost, the reduction of life quality, no guarantee that it any of it would work, and his age, it seemed like the best course of action. Which doesn't make it suck any less.

Also sucks that the first vet we took him to nearly three weeks ago basically did nothing but fleece us for $700 (an ineffective antibiotic shot and a non-conclusive test) then basically kicked the can down the road and told us to take him somewhere else. ****ers. I'll never go back there again.

Anyway, what's done is done. He was a needy, neurotic pain in the ass, but I sure will miss him.

Sorry for you loss, Frazod.
