Have you ever refused treatment for something you felt would primarily hurt the animal's quality of life significantly to the point of being somewhat cruel?

Yeah, I have turned down care for an animal that I believed would largely lower its quality of life. I firmly think that it is our responsibility as pet owners to provide our animals a good life, which includes preventing needless suffering.

I once had a pet with a debilitating injury, and the available treatments would not have substantially helped the animal's quality of life. I decided that it would be more humane to let the animal spend its last days in comfort and without further pain or suffering.

I have refused to perform certain aggressive surgeries, such as amputations, on animals that were in pain or suffering from a terminal illness that would not be alleviated by the surgery.

At our vet we are always looking out for the best interest of the animal, and not only are treatments costly, but if it doesn't make sense for the pet then why charge the customer and delay the inevitable even more? I feel it's the same with people, we fight so hard to keep our loved ones alive but what if they are ready to go?
