When my stepmother was released from the hospital, she came home to my dad's dog becoming incapacitated. She was broke and in tears, it just broke my heart. I knew my dad would have wanted Lady to be put down humanely because she gave so much joy to them. I called around and found a vet who worked with me on the financial stuff, it was a huge discount and over a 50% reduction. It took me hours on the phone and a lot of begging, pleading, but I know my dad was happy on the Other Side.
Oh there's no problem with the euthanasia. I have a wonderful vet who allows me to make payments on vet bills. She won't be allowed to suffer. I just know her time is growing short with us.
The problem is I live in a small town, and the nearest place for cremation is through the Kansas Humane Society in Wichita, and I just can't afford that. They offer wonderful services, but it's $120 for the cremation and urn. I'm still paying off the vet bill from when Miss Bug was so ill and hospitalized for 5 days.
I'm just going to have to resign myself to the fact that she will be buried and I won't have her ashes here at home.
