My doggie is getting on in years, and I'm often treated to a shit-splattered kitchen in the morning, because she gets an upset stomach every 3 months or so. It happened again last week, so I took her to the vet, where they give her meds and put her on an IV. So, picked her up Friday, went to the countryside, and now we're back in the city, and she's dripping something. It's not quite pee, and it's not slobber -- it's hard to tell where it's coming from, actually. My husband says we have to put her to sleep!!! WTF?!? Who knew I married such a heartless bastard?

I say no way. She's not losing (or "loosing" if you prefer) weight, and she's not otherwise in pain or anything. She happily runs around outside; she's not "droopy" or lethargic; she has no other symptoms of illness; I clean up the piles of poo when it happens (which is admittedly unpleasant, but nothing to kill my poor doggie over -- come on!), and the kids love her (as do I).

Am I being obtuse? Naive?

Before you call Dr. Kevorkian, can't you call the vet's office and ask them for some advice? Or maybe take the dog back in?
