£300 worth of tests tomorrow, not covered by insurance because the problem started in the first 14 days ... this is getting quite scary. I've already spent another £200 on vet fees and travel to and from vets (excluding that which was reimbursed by the shop), plus lots of stuff for them: toys, hays, litter, carrier, Vetbed, a second cage so they have enough space (I put the two cages open together, in case you're worried about the poor things being separated).... It would have ruined me if it hadn't been my birthday this month.
And what with feeding them fresh herbs and rocket I'm starting to feel like I'm getting into Liz Jones territory for crazy levels of expenditure on pets.
Not that I would ever want one, but I could have bought a large pedigree dog for this money. I knew rabbits needed some looking after and ongoing expenditure, but had no idea it would be this much. And they still haven't had their jabs (not been well enough for long enough), let alone spaying.
Some people are undoubtedly luckier with health problems being covered by insurance, but am wondering how people cope generally.
