Description

"Hundreds of people have contacted BBC News about struggling to pay their vet bills. Dog and cat lovers have told of forking out thousands of pounds from their savings and monthly salaries to secure their pets' medication. Alicia Healey and her pug Dorothy live in Hertfordshire. Dorothy was diagnosed with a chronic intestinal disease almost a year ago. It's an inflammatory bowel disease causing protein-losing enteropathy. Alicia manages Dorothy's disease using daily medication and a special diet of home cooking. She says her medical expenses for specialist consultations, ultrasounds, a biopsy, regular blood tests, urine tests and medication have cost her around £12,200 over a period of 10 months. "One of her medications, an immunosuppressant called ciclosporin, is about £90 for a 30ml bottle that I buy online. If I bought it direct from the vet it would cost me about £225 per bottle," she adds." 07/09/23 Check the full article copying the link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66740927
