Sorry about your dog which is mans best friend. My family had a 13 year old dachsund that had a disc go out in his back so he wasn't able to walk on his back legs so I rigged up a leash to take him out to use the restroom. We took him to have back surgery which cost $3,000+ but he was able to walk again. The cost don't matter because they're part of the family. After surgery we foud out he had cancer in his head so we had to put him down and it was terrible. I'm sure you gave him a good home unlike some people that don't care. So try to cheer up because everyone goes thru it.
