Dr. Barton Goldsmith: When your ex asks for help

Dr. Barton Goldsmith examines a scenario where a man and his ex-partner maintain a friendly relationship. They share a dog that resides with the woman, although the man remains responsible for all vet bills. The situation escalated when the dog contracted a severe bacterial infection, leaving the animal in critical condition. This prompted the ex-partner to call the man in distress, seeking help during the medical crisis involving their mutual pet's life-threatening health struggle.
