pancreatitis

Ritchie has pancreatitis. As much as I love the dog my parents are starting to feel the weight on their pockets. The doctor said even if we do spend the $10,000 estimate to keep him alive it'll only be for a couple of months. He's in a lot of pain. I don't know you guys. I've had this dog since I was 9. I'm 19 now. Any opinions?
