Animals are not cheap. Actually, they are cheap until they swallow something they shouldn't. I am curious if anyone has any pet health insurance plans, especially those with cats.
This is the third time I've been to the vet over my cats getting into something. This time it was my girlfriend's lace shirt, on Tuesday he pulled one of the strings from the shirt and tried swallowing it. It got lodged inside of his throat to the point where he was vomiting while the string was still stuck. It was about a 1 1/2 ft string. He ran from me when I would try to get a closer look (they say do not pull if something is stuck). When I found him in the basement I couldn't find the string! I took him to the vet and they said if he swallowed it, he will start showing signs of illness/vomiting within 2-3 days. He started getting sick last night, and plan to take him back to the vet about 30 minutes after I post this.
Does anyone have any health insurance plans for their cat or pets? I realize most of it probably just covers medicines, but even that would be helpful advice as I'm sure he will need something if he has surgery to remove the string.
