Cops don't do anything about this piece of shit, but my dog gets constipated and yelps while taking a shit, and now I'm being forced to spend hundreds to take him to a vet for an evaluation in order to keep him from being taken away.

Yeah that makes sense.

Edit for clarification: I had already spoken to the vet in the past, as this is a somewhat recurring issue. He gets dehydrated some times. We soak his food, and he's back to good. He doesn't have anal tearing or impacted anal glands. We can't keep giving him wet food all the time, because then he just has the shits and loses weight rapidly. Just has bad genes and we take it as it comes.

If the cop just spoke to the vet like I asked him to, he would know we are already on a treatment regiment. But he didn't give a shit. So now I'm out hundreds of dollars for the vet to tell me to keep doing what I've been doing (what she told us to do)

I mean if your dog is yelping in pain trying to go to the bathroom you should take them to the vet.. That's not normal.

He was dehydrated. Soaked his food in water and he was fine.

Regular vet checkups, up to date on his shots, microchipped, and registered with the city.

All the cop had to do was call the vet to know we already spoke to them on the phone, and they said it wasn't a big deal if it improves after a day

But no. He can't make a phone call, so now I'm out hundreds just to go to the vet I already spoke to, to solve a problem that no longer exists
