I had "Dr" Johnson come to my home to put our Stella to sleep. She is our 9 year old Newfie that has had bad hips for 9 years, since I got her at 4 months, and has been deck ridden for the last 3. When she sleeps inside, which she doesn't like, she poops and pees anywhere because she can't make it outside fast enough. I was made to feel I was not providing her with adequate care because I was only giving her dog asprin and glucose and conj and she suggested "I get a ramp" REALLY?? My Stella is LOVED and I have struggled for the last year with this decision. I had her come to the house with the kids not home so they think our Stella just passed of old age. Newfies live about 10-11 on the outside - typically 7-9 and Dr. Johnson said she was very geriatric, but I guess not invalid enough, not old enough, not disabled enough. Maybe I should wait until she falls again and gets injured and I have to drive her to a vet crying in pain to be put to rest. I was giving her dignity and peace, but Dr. Johnson got her $114 for her 45 min visit. Thanks for nothing but hurt and further torment, and I will pass my expereince on to anyone that has an ear. read more
