“Don’t know why people seek out help and then don’t respond to posts”

I find that to be the norm on forums. Often people have already decided what they want to do. They are just looking for support.
If they don’t like what you have to say and when you don’t support their opinions they become angry.
It is expensive to own a dog nowadays, not everyone grasps that.
Some pet owners want to avoid further vet costs…..decline further testing, etc.
Just speculating.
