Moral dilemma - Your pet needs lifesaving veterinary care and you can't afford it. What would you do?

That was a situation a Minnesota woman was recently faced with.

She was a small 'back-yard' breeder of Shih Tzu's and one of her 3 week-old puppies was struggling to live.

She brought the puppy to her regular vet to find out what the problem was.

Her vet gave her four options -

  1. Run costly tests to determine what was ailing the puppy.
  2. Take the puppy home with some medication and hope it gets better.
  3. Euthanize it.
  4. Turn the puppy over to the vet, just pay for services rendered to that point and the vet would try and save the animal.

She chose option #4, and that's when things started going wrong for everyone.........
