What I would do for you...

It's no secret. I have a love affair with dogs. Especially my baby, Junie. I rescued her from Lone Star Boxer Rescue about a year ago and since then she has been my world. At the time, she was in pretty bad condition. She was all skin and bones and heavy heartworm positive. We went through 2 months of grueling heartworm treatment that required her to be on a strict "no activity" regimen. She ended the treatment around December 2009 and since then has been on monthly heartworm medications. Recently she had her checkup and they discovered that she was still light positive :( The vet recommended another round of treatment to hopefully "cure" her. The problem is that I don't want her to go through that again. She's been through so much in her short life and her health issues seem to never end. Of course I want nothing but the best for her. I want her to live a long, healthy life. No matter what the cost... oh, did I mention the cost? $950. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!! It's making me dizzy just thinking about it. On one hand, it's the right thing to do, on the other hand, that's a lot of money.

I'm going to try and get a second opinion but if they say the same thing then I'd be willing to fork over the money. I'd do anything for her. She means more than the world to me. She's family.
