Peterhunter 86. Sad outcome bud but prob best for dog & you in long run. I had a beddy x grew that had the same only 6minth old bitch they wanted ridiculous money for ops & said would never work so i said the same pts but vet asked if i would sign her over & he would take her on. One of the practice nurses had her as a pet. All the best to you & your family sad loss. Atb
