Oh, Bonny. I am sorry to hear that. I don't have any practical advice, but I know how much you love him.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

If he's had this condition before you took out the insurance...it probably won't. Sad.

Erin!
Thank you for the lovely surprise in the post today. It was sweet of you to think of me and it made me smile in the midst of my worry.

The pre-existing condition issue is huge. And likely dooming.
My only hope is that it was never before diagnosed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, dear. All the best for you and Bartleby, bonny.

oh noes! i feel that situation all too much this week and hope beyond reason that he miraculously wakes up tomorrow with no need for surgery or risky meds :( back in the world of sads, will the vet vouch that it is NOT a pre-existing condition? I have no love for vet insurance companies after my terrible earlier experiences, but as long as the vet can vouch for the new-ness of the condition major surgery is the one thing you can rely on them to cover.

The doc has been lovely and practical so far, so I'm confident that, if she can help, she will.
I was very impressed that when I mentioned that his rabies booster is lapsed, she said it was ill-advised to boost him when while he was sick. I love her for that. But she went even further by saying that, if God-forbid, anything happened before we were able to get the booster, she would 'go to bat for us in court.'
Given that, and her willingness to do actual research, I'm inclined to trust her more than any we've seen maybe ever.

Thank you so much e_o. Goodness knows I'm pulling out the stops on the prayer front. Any and all good wishes are gratefully accepted.

Kato is sending good Bartelby vibes. He looks to be concentrating very hard, as a matter of fact.
