THANK GOD FOR PET INSURANCE
AFTER MY MIXED LAB BRANDY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES I DECIDED TO PUT ALL MY PETS ON HEALTH INSURANCE. I CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE MORNING AND THERE LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD BEEN MASECARED IN MY HOUSE. THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE BLACKJACK,MY PUREBRED LAB HAD SPLIT OPEN HIS TAIL AND WAS BLEEDING BADLEY. I COULDN'T GET A BANDAGE TO STAY ON IT ,SO I DROVE HIM TO THE VETS LIKE THAT. IT TOOK THREE OF US TO HOLD HIM DOWN TO GIVE HIM A SHOT. WE CAME HOME WITH A CONE AND WRAPPED UP TAIL.HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO BUMP THE CONE AND PUSH IT BACK SO HE COULD CHEW OFF THE BANDAGES. AFTER AFEW TRIPS TO THE VETS AND BLACKJACK CHEWING ABOUT 4" OFF HIS TAIL WE HAD TO GET IT AMPUTATED. I PUT THE SURGERY ON A CARE CREDIT CARD. BECAUSE I HAD PAID THE DEDUCTABLE FROM BLACKJACKS PREVIOUS VISITS I WAS ABLE TO PAY OFF THE CARD. THANK GOD FOR ASPCA.
