Hey guys, my dog needs some heart meds, and I don't want to pay the local vet, nor do I want to wait several months for one of these overseas pharmacies to ship... any of you veterinarians? Send me a P.M....
The above is a quote from another forum, where he failed to find a source. I hope no vet is retarded enough to put his license at risk because some idiot is incapable of walking into his GP's office (or a free clinic if you're really that broke) to get a prescription.I found some of that at the veterinary site I use for sterile water.. Ill let yall know if they accept my fake dog prescription and send it out to me... its about $15 for 75 pills if they do
Fuck off Jeff ... I posted both at the same time ...The above is a quote from another forum, where he failed to find a source.

I have looked at insurance but can't see a great saving. The several thousand dollars that you spend over the life span is way more then the amount of medical problems I have had with any of my critters over the last 40 years. And the price of premiums when they get older goes up a lot, that is if they don't drop you altogether. I spent several thousand on my guy earlier this year but am still money ahead with saving and investing those premium monies myself.Everyone who cares about their pet needs ro look into pet insurance. I use Petplan for both of my dogs, but im thinking about switching over to trupanion at some point. Petplan just cleared my dog to have knee surgery. Theyre going cover like 4 grand of it. My out of pocket is like 500. Not a bad deal.
Not saying OP is doing this, as I don’t know the whole story, but it’s SEEMS like trying to cut corners and save a minuscule amount of money...
I’ll never understand that.. My dog is my family, my son. All my dogs have been that way...
I’d literally refinance my house, sell my car, shit, I’d bury someone if meant saving my dog’s life...
Legit I have thousands of dollars in receipts to prove it with my past dogs.. I had a beagle with a blood disease (can’t remember what it was called) and the treatment and saving his life cost a couple grand. Then he needed 2 leg surgeries.. 4K each... Yes, you read that right... 4K each... We’d joke around saying he’s a $15,000 dog with all the money we put into just saving him lol... Fucker lived a happy 14 years though. Loved that dog..
Had a basset hound my mom saved that was deadly sick in a puppy mill, right off the bat it was a couple grand to save his life and treat him, he was even on a respirator... Fast forward and he broke his back TWICE playing rough with the other dogs we had (we had a big german Shepard at the time too) and for each surgery it was like 5k... Yup, easily another 15k-20k+ saving and maintaining that dog.. But they’re family. That little guy also lived about 14 years.
Dogs are family. I remember spending $5k out of pocket on my dog to have emergency surgery....poor guy died the next day at 10. I loved that lab, Oliver.
