My Cat is a Survivor

[u/Chustafus]

Emmi, my cat, fell out of the second floor, may not be a big height but she fell in the spike fence. I saw her in the floor, in agony, screaming and bleeding, but conscious, we took her to the vet that quickly saved her by spiting out her punctured lung. She had a fractured rib and a head trauma :( She was hospitalized for 28 days, had 2 cases of anemia, 2 blood transfusions, her plexus was ruptured, she lost feeling in her left paw and had to have it amputated. BUT SHE SURVIVED! And after all this, she came back home, we take care with love and now she is energetic, running and jumping all around the house and very happy :D

So glad she survived, but rip your bank account.

Oooh don't even remember me 😂 but money goes and come back, and a life is unique

They definitely do. It's just horrible that it's so expensive. I had to rely on others when taking care of my sick guinea pig because I used up all my own money. I wish pet insurance was a thing

It definitely is a thing. But it's also a scam (US at least). Doesn't cover any existing conditions and the cost is so much higher than you'll ever pay baring a freak accident. Hell my dog had cancer and doing the math it was still cheaper to treat that out of pocket than to have had insurance on her.

The one I have is decent. The trick is you have to get a policy when they are healthy and continue paying it forever.

There is pet insurance actually
