Adult Guinea Pig
My previous dog, a black labrador named Desmond, was never insured and was plagued with illness of one kind or another all his life By the time he passed away at the age of 11 1/2 he'd cost an absolute fortune in vets fees, medication and treatments etc.
When we acquired Rusty, the labrador and Stanley, the basset - both rescued dogs - I insured them both immediately. To date Stanley has managed to run up a vets bill of around £2000 - he has allergy issues and suffers really badly with skin problems. He's had loads of testing and has regular visits to a specialist - everything is relatively under control now but he still has visits to the specialist and is on varoius medication.
Rusty has now deveoped arthritis - to be expected really as he's now 12 1/2years old. Treatment and bloodtests etc this week have amounted to £356 and he's now going to need xrays etc and continued medication.
I know times are hard but I urge everyone with insurable animals to seriously consider getting some insurance for them. Premiums I know are expensive but had my boys not been insured I realy dont know where I would have managed to find these fairly substantial sums of money for their treatment..........
