Would it be considered neglect if you go to the vet with a sick animal, find out the bill is too expensive, and decide not to treat? And where is the line drawn? i.e., refusing to treat an ear infection vs. refusing to treat a broken leg?

I should have added that this is a hypothetical question that I'm writing about for an ethics class.

Whether it's an ear infection or a broken leg is irrelevant. If your pet needs medical care, you must provide for it. Not sure if this is a hypothetical situation or not. If this is you you're talking about and you can't afford vet care for your pet, please surrender it to a shelter so that someone with the means to give it the care it needs - and deserves.

while there are conflicting disabilities, the two could be accommodated devoid of denying the two the lodging mandatory. So, in spite of the fact that if your bronchial asthma/hypersensitive reaction situation raised to the point of a incapacity (i'm no longer likely to argue the two way. it fairly is totally uncommon yet attainable), they are in a place to no longer deny different disabled human beings their mandatory lodging of a provider canines based on your incapacity. the comparable is authentic for everywhere which comprise colleges, artwork, and conventional public places. I genuinely have a provider canines, and, as an occasion, i'm no longer able to be denied get right of entry to when you consider which you have been in the comparable place. What the do could do is accommodate the two. So, you're able to could grant medical documentation of your disabling hypersensitive reaction (no longer in basic terms which you have one or which you're asthmatic yet that it reaches the ADA definition of disabling) and then they could grant you an addition lodging which comprise a diverse place of residing far flung from those inhabited by using a provider canines, a definite air filter out, or the like. If the asked for lodging is a economic worry for the complicated, then they are in a place to legally deny it.

If you can't afford treatment for your pet, take it to the SPCA/ASPCA, whichever is in the city where you live. Call Directory Assistance for the phone numbers/addresses.
They often have less expensive medical care for pets.

It's considered animal neglect and can get the animal taken away from you if reported.

If a person can not afford to pay vet bills then they SHOULD NOT HAVE PETS.
