Title: Can I claim for this
Post by: Jane57 on June 20, 2012, 12:40:31 PM
Im not quite sure, Riley hurt his leg last week, I was really worried as he was limping and couldnt put weight on his leg, (I think I overreacted tbh)
Anyway I took him to out of hours emergency vet, I knew there would be a large cost for this but wanted him checked asap as I was frightened he could damage himself by trying to walk on it, (he is only 4 months old)
There was no treatment as she examined him thoroughly and said he might just have bruised it .

Im wondering since there was no treatment other than examining him then can I still claim on my insurance as I was charged the shocking amount of £123  >:D
Thanks.

Yes I would think you could try anyway but you will have any excess taken from the amount my excess is £80 so that would be removed.  I have just tried a claim for our Charlie although all tests came back negative but if successfull then I get back £120 from the £200 is cost me.

Thank you , The excess for the first claim of the year is £75 so suppose still worth a try.
I dont have any other excess.
