The Love That A Cocker Can Bring To A Home.

(Syracuse, New York)

I recently rescued a five year old minature female cocker spaniel. She is so adorable but yet so unhealthy. Vet expenses are never in anyone's budget, but I don't see an end.

I had to spend $1,600.00 for a blood transfusion and medications and still have a way to go.

Because she was neglected I am faced with a very severe case of Cocker Ears, to the point where surgery is the only option besides putting her to sleep. It breaks my heart to have to make a decision like this, it's so unfair. I rescued her and now I don't know what to do. She is so sweet, only weighs 16 lbs., loves to play and never barks, what more would you want in a dog.

I have a week to decide what to do, have to get the bacterial infection under control first.

Wish someone could give me guidance on how to make the right decision, let alone how to pay for it, any help would be appreciated, my eyes are almost dry from the crying.
