What would you have done if he said that he'd PTS?!
We had already paid out over £200, they then wanted another £200 or so for more tests, we simply did not have the money and we were insured ! The insurance had already agreed to meet the costs of the treatment. The vets however wouldnt go directly through them and wanted us to pay. They would have however gone directly through PetPlan that they endorsed in the surgery !!!!
Anyway i said i didnt have the money so if they wanted to continue to treat the cat then they WOULD have to go directly through the insurance. They twisted their faces at this. I simply said "look, i dont have the money. The cat is insured and they have agreed to meet the cost of all the treatment. Either put down a cat with a condition that could possibly be treated or treat her. Either way i dont have the money and a cat that could be treated may have to be destroyed over a technicality ie you wont deal with the insurance company direct ! Like i said they caved in and treated her without us having to pay any further bills.
This may sound harsh but i was quite prepaired for the cat to be destroyed, we didnt have the money and they were being difficult. As i said to them the whole point of having insurance is to avoid situations like and to put you in the situation where you dont have to worry about money and your pet comes first as the insurance will cover the costs.
Now i know there are people out there who will do anything for there pets but im sorry in this case the final bill of just over £3000 was just to great and there was no way we could have constanly paid out money to that amount - regardless of the fact we would have gotten it back as we just didnt have it in the first place.
My animals are like my children, I would never take a risk with their life like that and I find it quite sickening tbh that you could gamble with something elses life.
I take good care of my pets and i love my pets but just because i do not value their lives as you do that does not make me a bad person !
