Sick to the stomach SURELY this has to be the last bad thing :'(
« on: September 11, 2013, 07:22:17 pm »
Eli our pet wether who we adopted from 8 hours old has a urethra too tiny for him to pee through.  DH has been at the vets from 2 hours now and the only option is a cystotomy (where the urethra is diverted so he wees like a girl).  The cost?  In the region of several hundred (£500 ish).  I just cant justify this expense as there are no guarantees of his living a trouble free life afterwards.  He's at the vets now and a decision has to be made now.  :'(

So sorry  - its a hard call and only you can make it, but I think if he was mine I would have to say no to the op and have him PTS.  But its easy to say and not so easy when its you making the decision.  I don't envy you, but which ever way you decide I am sure it will be the right way  :hug: :( :hug:

Very sorry to read your post, but this sounds like a congenital problem, so there seems to have been not much you could have done...
