I have a dog and a cat. For me, the age of the animal would certainly come into the picture and what sort of treatment would be involved and the prognosis. When my cat was young I spent probably around $3000 for tests, treatment etc to find out what was wrong with her. I would not have her put down without knowing what she had and if it was treatable. I'm so glad I went this route with her - she is a very happy 10 year old and worth every bit of the $3000 and much more to me. I am committed to my pets and won't give up on them (within reason).
