Hi all,
Neither of my two buns are insured. I considered it for a while but decided against it for various reasons.
A couple of weeks ago Misfit had a bout of stasis. When I took them for their vaccinations yesterday the vet also said her teeth were misaligned and were likely to need filing at some point in the future. I get the impression Misfit is going to become an expensive bunny over the years!
I am considering getting her insured but know that a lot of insurance companies won't cover for 'pre-existing medical conditions'.
So my questions are:
- Would one bout of stasis count as a 'pre-existing medical condition'?
- If so, do you know of any insurance companies that will cover pre-existing conditions?
- What are people's general opinions on insurance? I have worked out that I'd have to spend around £300 a year before insurance became worthwhile (i.e. around £20/month for the both plus a £50 excess if I need to claim). I know that most years I probably wouldn't spend this, but then of course it covers you for unexpected big bills.
