When I got Gloria, my gorgeous lionhead, I insured her as I already had insurance out for her partner. Boy am I glad I did!
Last week, she appeared unwell and a trip to the vet diagnosed a respiratory infection, this morphed into something more sinister as they realised she had lost a lot of weight. The problem showed the next day .... she had a tumour behind her eye. She was then operated on the next day.
The eye was removed and behind it was a lot of pus and debris and it wasn't clear whether it was an abscess or a growth. The eye is being biopsied and cultures taken in case more targetted ABX is needed in future.
All in all, the bill so far has been:
3 x jabs for respiratory infection £95
Operation to remove eye, biopsy etc £450
3 x jabs for pain relief £95
Trip to have stitches removed £?????
As you can easily see, it is going to be very expensive. I will have to pay the first £50 of the claim but hopefully, will get a full refund of her treatment.
So if anyone is questioning whether it is worth insuring their bunny, maybe the tale above is food for thought. I pay about £15 for my two buns and can certainly say it has given me great relief.
