if your snake needs vet!

[azn4114]

just wandering truthfully right now if something happened to your snake(or whatever you have)would you have the funds to be able to take it there,i can honestly say i have the money put away just incase anything ever happens..(i think im a little pissed off at these ppl that make excuses like bills came in or cant afford for 2 days)***?

Do ordinary vets treat snakes?

[azn4114]

i have the funds, though I am living at home still... Plus (I haven't looked into it yet) but maybe we should all look into the pet insurance? to see if reptiles are covered? I was thinking about having mine put under the same policy that the parentals have the dog and cats under...

 

[Bonustokin]

No funds ready available here, but volunteering with WIRES helped to get friendly with vets and i am able to pay off my vet because of it Lucky ay?

 

[BlackMamba]

Most definately. If any of my pets needed a vet I wouldn't hesitate.

 

[stimson7]

from an ownership point of view - if i can't afford to take care of the animal i don't get it. have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 stimson, 8 chooks. however, if the finances are a bit tight at any time and something happens that they require veterinary attention my partner and I are the ones to go without NOT the animals.

From a vet nurse point of view - i have heard every single excuse there is as to why people neglect and inflict cruelty on their animals. YES i said cruelty, those of you who make excuses about not getting your animals seen by a vet are being CRUEL whether you want acknowledge it or not!

Ditto. I would get those little guys treated before myself.

worst comes to worst there's always places like retravision if you need some emergency cash!

I think most people with common sence ( and animals worth alot of $$$) Tend to keep money aside for the "just in case" situations.
But saying that things happen and lots of people don't seem to have any common sence!

 

[Weezer]

Man if you havent got the spare cash, a snake is not a wise investment- nor are children, dogs or wives. !!

 

[azn4114]

im saving right now for an albino carpet,but saving means another few grand on top to make sure if any problems happen i can take care of it fund wise

 

[dickyknee]

I do not have a fund for vets , and there would be times when i would not have the cash for a vet .

I also have a wife , 3 kids to take care of , so if its comes to the crunch my family will come before any of my snakes , simple as that .

Does not mean i don't care for my snakes though .

azn4114 if your $60 bearded dragons need a $1000.00 spent on it at the vets , you will cough that up ??

 

[BlackMamba]

To me it's like saying 'If one of your family needed to go to the hospital, would you take them?'. You can find money, if you need to.

 

[Weezer]

Well that's it Kaos, like, they ARE family... not like I would sacrifice my HUMAN family member's health to cure their ailments, but I would easily sacrifice my own and man up.

yes i would!no probs..my animals are my kids and dont think the price i paid for them should mean that there not worth treatment if needed,i spent over $2000 on vet bills for a dog i got for free!thats what you do when your a responsible owner(and im not insulting you or anything)
