The most recent prescription medication was £85 every two weeks, or I could buy it online for £11.

I’ve read this on Reddit before and it rings pretty true:
>Plants are the new pets,
>Pets are the new kids,
>Kids are like exotic animals: you need to be crazy or rich to have them.
Cost of everything is pushing people further into loneliness.

Just an appointment can cost you £40.
My dog was limping once and took him in to find out he was absolutely fine. Still cost a boat load.
Vets know exactly what they’ve got with their prices and people’s emotional attachment to their pets

We got a pair of kittens which were fine for 2 weeks. One of them started to not walk correctly and went to sleep with no response except heart beating. Took her to the vets and had to heartbreakingly make the decision to put her down due to the costs for the tests and likely surgery costs that we were quoted in the thousands.

One of my cats recently gave us a good scare when she started refusing food, acting sick and vomiting and defecating blood.
Boarding it in the vet for the day, quick blood panel and the medication put us over £400.
And that was without a hospital visit for scans and further testing. I was informed this would be around £3k if necessary.
Apparently it was some food poisoning and luckily she went through it with the given medication.
Since that, both my cats are insured.
Vet bills have become insane.
