Hi there,
Hello to you all! Long time no see I'm afraid due to some very human activities keeping us occupied.
Poor Griffin has had a rubbish week. He started limping on Wednesday morning so saw the vet that afternoon. She pulled out an evil grass seed
He's been on antibiotics since but it came up as a big abcess and last night I was sure he'd need to go back to the vet. But when I bathed it (as advised by the vet) the blister ruptured and loads of yucky puss came out. Despite being rank, he seemed so much better so I called the vet again and explained and she said she was happy not to see him. Then, an hour later I phoned back up because the blister filled up again and he was limping.
So, I just got back from taking him. She's keeping him there for a few hours and is going to cut the abscess open and clean it out and make sure there's no lurking grass seed left in it.
So, on to the question, she thinks it'll be about £200 on top of the £56 we've already paid. Our excess is £50 so we'd be able to claim £200 back. Do you know if it works like other insurance as in, will next years premiums go up by a staggering amount because we've claimed?
He's having the op anyway, that's not in question as I'd do anything to make him better. But we do need to think about the most economical way of doing it.
Thanks for the advice
Carys
