Remind me to run a vet practice in my next life
 

I just got back from dropping my pug off at the vet. She has had this on going thing with her back leg where she holds in up and hops for a couple seconds after she gets up from sitting down for an extended period. So, they decided it was time to do some xrays. I dropped her off for the Xrays and I will pick her back up in a few hours.

The bill for xrays and the interpretation of them? £300 ..which is about $600. Yay for having pet insurance but still.

And all of that to basically be told she was born weird.

My father does the same thing and we never took him to a vet.

Pet insurance??? LOL

I thought this would be about Ketamine... :)

Make sure she stays away from cliffs... and American soldiers.

Pretty common in the UK..like health insurance for your pets. Times like this it is worth it.

Universal healthcare for pets. Let the fight begin.

I thought pet insurance was a scam...that was before my cat got really sick...I've probably spent over 10K on his medical bills, meds, etc over the last three years...... :helpme

Yeah, I have paid in for two years and was starting to wonder if it was worth it. Then with this one visit I made back nearly four months worth of payments. I had to pay the excess but that really wasn't much and if she needs any further treatment on this I won't have to pay any more.

Makes sense...I'll know better the next time...it's just so hard to imagine that it will be a worthwhile investment when they're a kitten or puppy running around healthy....then when they get older and get sick, and you go to check out of the hospital and the receptionist says "today's charges will be $3200"...you want to stab yourself in the eye lol
