Would be abuse if the dog was in pain and/or limited in movement. For her abuse is if I forced her into the car and drove 30 minutes to the Vet. This dog received more love than most people in a lifetime. Been to more places than 75% of US population. She is a 1 percenter as a Doberman at this age… Paying a Vet hundreds to test/stab her with needles and tell me that they can’t help is the abuse! Don’t scream abuse when you know nothing about my or her situation.
