    I brought my dog to the emergency vet. She died in the car on the way but I wasn’t ready to accept that and carried her inside. They asked if I wanted her ressicitated, I was like yeah of course I do. They took her and came back a while later. They said we can’t get her breathing, she’s dead. But the drugs did get her heart beating so we have to put her down anyway. They euthanized my dead dog. Total cost? $1500.

      Professional services and medication cost money, especially not having to wait as much (the “emergency” part). They’re not a charity.

      It absolutely sucks what you had to go through.

      Professionals who have professional equipment and expenses themselves should be expensive.
