Kia ora Michael,

With a name like Kahlua your dog is almost a kiwi. Just did a --- not a nice condition. I trust all will turn out well, but if not, here are a few sincere thoughts which may help. ----

I am an animal person and have had several dogs over many years. You get extremely attached, but you must remain practical from all points of view. After a long harrowing period, I had to have my last very dear dog "Luke" put down and know the heart ache involved.

You must consider the cost/benefit which applies and who a probable bottomless debt will effect. Secondly and very important, unless the suggested cure is quick, absolute, and stress free, is it in the best interests of your pet?

Fingers crossed.

Sadly, Trevor.
