I was PO'd that VIP didn't cover LP or MVD problems so i canceled it after going for a surgical consult to check morgan's knees. it just isn't worth it to me to keep paying them. i only have the 1 dog though, i know you have 4 now so i hope you get better use out of it then i did
I am hoping it will get better w/o surgery. It is strange that she just had the fall from the bed. She never jumps off beds or furniture, she always uses the ramps or stairs.
If her vet mentioned it I missed it. She is so thorough and checks all of their knees each visit. Cali, Roxie and NIkki also have some degree of it.
I know I have VPI and I have always thought of switching to one that covers hereditary conditions. I don't know any that will take them with the Pre existing conditions they all now have. I am just thankful I have an emergency fund to help out.
