When my Borzoi bloated and we had to take him to the emergency hospital miles away in a blizzard, they charged my credit card $1500 when we walked in the door. The entire episode was almost $5000 but they did save his left. I wish I could afford monthly premiums and feel confident everything would be covered but I doubt that's the case.
I like madamekelly, same last name but no relation :-), I hope for the best and my previous vet was glad to take payments. He's passed now but I got a Care Credit CC in case something goes wrong again. I can still make payments to them but the interest is very high.
