My plastic card will be floating again to the tune of about $1500. Pity he's too old to get insurance. No expense spared for my furry mate. Love him to bits.


Cheers Rod

Ahh crap Rod thats no good at all poor little bugger!! Hope old Snoop gets better soon, jeeze they know how to charge alright bloody vets but i guess to keeps our friends around they are worth it and in the grand scheme of things its not that dear compared to the amount of joy they bring to us!!

Best of luck mate hope he recovers well

Hope snoop is ok! Im buying vets a new house im sure. Not a dollar to my name on a low wage with disabilities anyways ; ( and my beautiful ted is costing me a fortune to the point i wont be able to continue treatment if it doesnt get better soon and will have to make that hard choice but hoping good news with vet tomorrow.

Got a new pup on Sunday, her name is Dax (after Dax from Star Trek DS9)
she is a pure breed Border collie, she is a Blue Merle, with a hint of Tan in her too, making her a blue Merle tri.
Also have two other border collies, a 9 year old Wheaten and white boy and a 8 year old Tri colour girl(photo of the Tri colour girl also).

now them are some working dogs, when I start up the triumph to go to work in the morning all mine run away like its going to attack them or something.

reminds me of a guy who i used to see on his gold wing with builders trailer in tow and a blue healer on the back pillionseat/giant lazyboy chair

Have you guys and girls with the big $ pet bills heard of pet insurance? My Ma's dog recently had a $4000 operation and it only cost them $600. Might be worth looking into.

my 9 year old wheaten and white border collie has allergies and has cost me a fortune in Vet bills, added up what Pet insurance would have cost from a pup. . about the same as the vet bills not including and excess payed(based on the 10pw quote I was given), (that's not including regular vet checkups and things, or medication/special foods he needs)

im looking into Pet insurance for the new Pup though, need to get myself some of that health insurance one day too!

Id have pet insurance if i could afford it. But that, and health insurance is far beyond what my wage can stretch to. Lol
