I feel for you, vets are a complete rip off. My bank account is still dented from a £3000,00 vet bill last month for emergency surgery on my Rottweiler Jess. I hope your cat is feeling OK.
I wish I could. Years ago, i got that that point that I had to make a choice beacuse of the vet costs. These days I have a totally vet insurance so I will never again get to that point.
I am definitely getting vet insurance, I used to think oh I will never need that, boy was I wrong!
It wouldn't be so bad if the Vet would work with me on payments, but they want it all with in the next week. One vet I took him too wouldn't even look at him until I signed a paper saying Id pay UPFRONT for her services, when she didn't even know what was wrong with him yet
Offer the Vet a weekly amount, stand your ground and refuse to budge on it. You are not refusing to pay you are simply applying common sense to an impossible situation created by the Vet. It really amazes me that these so called animal lovers always seem to put money before the welfare of animals.
I agree 100%, I also understand they need the money to run their business, but I am more then willing to make payments on the bill, I am by no way trying to get a free service from them.
He has to go back tomorrow for a feeding tube to be inserted since he will not eat or drink, which is going to make his bill even higher.
