[There Is A Big Hole In My Heart]

I am so sorry for your loss.

[Frosty Had A Bad Accident At The Dog Park]

Good to read that Frosty is on the mend. More wishes for a speedy recovery.

[Frosty Had A Bad Accident At The Dog Park]

Good to see she is looking better. I just remembered that she and my Garth are related. Their great great grand parents: I'm slippy and Exception are the same. They look a lot alike.

 

hope for a speedy recovery.

I am so very sorry for you and your family!!!!!!!! You are in my thoughts! Please take care.

[Scared To Death...]

It's hard to argue with all of the above folks about getting a specialist/second opinion. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope Dye makes a quick recovery. I too will be looking for updates. Please take care.

Wow what a terrible day!! Hope Frosty is back to normal soon! Thank goodness it was not even worse.

[Pet Insurance]

Has anyone heard of petplan? I have Garth microchipped. I finally got the form confirming the chip. Anyway, then sent me an application for pet insurance wi/ the website: gopetplan.com.

 

I have VPI and I think the premium increased 45% over last year.

 

I checked out Pet First which seems just fine!!!

 

But, this one looks very good too! It is underwritten by an A+ rated carrier and covers as follows:

 

$12,000 annual vet fees (middle plan)

 

Just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

 

[Please Send Prayers]

Garth and I are keeping our paws crossed.

Adding our prayers for Blue - my gosh.

Have you called the second vet yet???

 

I am interested to see what other posters say about the timing issue in terms of waiting vs. seeing another vet.

 

 

Photos of the wound are critical. Glad you wrote that you and Horatio are okay.

 

A second vet (to a new doctor) visit shouldn't be that expensive. I think I would error on the side of getting a second opinion now but I'm probably a worry wart. Garth was attacked last summer by a Shepard and he needed some stitches. (Its a long long story).

 

Bottom line is I am not sure waiting gets you anything.

 

We'll see what the more experienced owners say. Good luck.
