But their dog that was "like that" wasn't 14 years old and was having a heart condition that caused fluid to build up now, was it? For all we know, THAT dog was blind and deaf from a younger age and was able to adjust well to the household. What are you going to do, tell every single cancer patient to pooh-pooh their condition because Old Mrs Fizzard from the road down Becky's place got cured of her melanoma?
Do you think the dog understands, or is thankful about the vet procedures? Do you think the dog understands the amount of time OP spends on the dog? Do you think the dog is truly happy about its own quality of life? How about turning it around - do you think the dog would have been happy to know that once it carked itself, it left its owner some $5000 in debt?
The point of those questions is, that ultimately you can't answer them, and neither can the OP, really. OP's ultimately paying for the dog to live because of OP's feelings for the dog, and has zilch to do with "as long as the dog's happy".
Also, OP's a damn liar. If the dog is not in any pain from the buildup, then OP would not be paying for a costly procedure and meds for what would effectively be just cosmetic surgery. Whatever it is, the dog IS suffering whenever it builds up beyond a certain point, and it must be building up pretty fast.
