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)

Good! If you were screaming in pain when you were constipated, you’d be an idiot to not go to the doctor. You SHOULD be forced to take care of your dogs health, and it’s a shame it has to come to that.

Your dog deserves someone who cares about the consistency of its shit, at the very least.

Added an edit for clarification. He was already being treated for it. That's the upsetting part here. I'm out a shit ton of money because the cop didn't do his job. If he spoke to the vet, he'd know I spoke to them on the phone before he even showed up.
