I hope you all remind me of this when it's time to put my old mare down, because I will be a wreck and probably do similar things. 
Wouldn't dream of it.  If mere money could bring my old roan boy back, healthy, you can bet your ass I'd pawn my brother's kidney (I'm running out of "extra" organs, so he's gonna have to buck up for little sis).  It's a sucky situation, and at the time, "just a little more" always seems like it might make a difference.  The tough part is shaking yourself out of that loop and going "Enough."
