I put money aside whenever I can for my kiddos. I keep a lot of exotics and a horse along with my 3 dogs, so vet bills are a real expense for me! Luckily, major bills tend to be few and far between. This is the highest I have had in a loooong time, even with my horse getting very ill last fall.   
I feel it's part of being a responsible pet owner. You need to have the ability to vet them when you need to, or at least get them there and stable at least.     |
