Can you Afford a Pets Injury?

[joycenalex]

in october 2003 alex the wonder dog had a case of aspiration pneumonia . he spent 2 nights in icu at osu vet hospital hooked up to ivs. i borrowed money and did without a lot as i repaid the loan of $1400. this past summer mojo had a bladder stone removed, final bill $1000. my vet cut me slack, let me make payments. i worked overtime, but paid it off in 2 months.
it hurt, but as long as i can stand up and work, the furries get good care.

I can usually cover up to about $500 without trouble. Dusty once had aspiration pnemonia and wracked up over $400. Anything over that I would have to seriously consider the pros and cons of treatment, sucess rate of treatment, pets age/health, and quality of life issues. Although I'm fortunate that I get discounts where I work so that helps anyways.

I have plastic money for emergency use only. I would do anything that I could to make sure that any of my pets had the proper care. I also have a cousin a few hours away that is a vet and has his own practice. I don't use him as my regular vet, but in an emergency I would not hesitate to contact him for help.

Just to add-I'm looking to get another job, and although eventually I will quit my current job (pizza delivery) I will hold onto it for a little while to pay for impending vet bills. LOL I think I love my animals more than I love myself.
