We have pet insurance and our girl used up $10,000 in tests earlier this year. It was hemangiosarcoma and we lost her anyway. If the diagnosis had come through earlier we would have been comforted to know that all the costs for surgery and chemo were covered. We now have three cats - the two young ones (about one year old) are insured - we couldn't get insurance for the elderly cat we adopted a couple of months ago as there is no medical history for her. There would never be a choice about how much I would pay to save an animal's life. All I care is that the animal is not in any pain and has a good quality of life over quantity.
