And Taffy and Kosmo's only remaining littermate Sebastian, who belongs to a friend of mine.

Anyway, we have decided to go with PetPlan. PetPlan is the only pet insurance that covers inherited diseases and allows you to pick your deductible and your percentage of reimbursement. Of course the lower the deductible and higher percent remimbursement will have a higher monthly payment but it is still resaonable. The gold plan also has other options.

This is straight from their website Petplan Pet Insurance for Dogs and Cats - hope this helps

Petplan policies provide the most comprehensive reimbursement for veterinary fees relating to treatment administered by a licensed veterinarian for illness or injury (provided that it is not pre-existing or occurred during a waiting period) such as:

*Hospitalization - including emergency treatment
*Diagnostic testing - such as MRIs, x-rays, endoscopy
*Surgery - including cruciate ligament surgery and organ transplants but not spay/neuter
*Cancer treatment - regardless of the type of cancer
*Non-routine dental treatment - such as tooth extraction, root canal but not routine teeth cleaning
*Prescription medications
*Referral and specialist treatment
*Alternative and complementary treatments - such as acupuncture, hydrotherapy or chiropractic treatment

Depending on the type of policy that you select we can also pay for:
*Advertising and reward costs if your dog goes missing
*Boarding fees if you're hospitalized and no-one else can look after your dog
*Vacation cancellation due to your dog’s life-threatening illness or injury, and
*Compensation if you lose your dog through straying, illness or injury

Thanks for the info! I've been wondering/debating about pet insurance.

Hi Brooke! How is Stedman doing today? I feel so bad for the poor little guy!

[Gizmo's Mom]

Hoping for an update of your lil guy.

[mizzwanned]

I cannot believe Stedman is sick, and I can't believe I didn't even see this thread!!! I hardly go into this section cause i feel so bad and makes me depressed to go to it but my little Stedman is sick?!? I hope he gets better, please keep us updated. I can't imagine what you are going thru, he is your little baby. Poor boyI thought the constipation was going to pass, i didn't imagine it would be something more than that, this is just terrible! I will keep little Stedman in my prayers and hope for a quick recovery!

Just checking to see if Brooke has updated on how Stedman is doing.

Sending healing thought for Stedman. Warmly, Deborah

Hun Please dont wait, Take him back to the vet, If he can only dribble a little his bladder must be very full and it can bust and if it does you can lose him. Im not trying to scare you, I have been through this 2 x's with my little Mickey. They had xray and did a cath to push back his stones over and over only prolonging his pain. but the stones would work their way down again.
praying for your little guy.

[YorkieShadow]

The reason he is not lifting his leg to pee is because hes straining to pee. My Mickey did this too, we would strain then walk a little slowly and strain again. and it is very painful.

[Gizmo's Mom]

Oh Stedman I hope you are ok. Our prayers are with you big guy.

[fufufashions]

Just checking in to see if there was an update from Brooke!! Poor little guy!!
I am just so worried about you and your little Steddy!! Prayers coming your way!!
