I have an 8 year old Lhasa apso dog, I love him dearly he is a great little fella.
Unfortunately over the years I hate to think how much I've spent on him at the vets.
He has needed X-rays for hip / backproblems, medication for pain, ultrasound treatment for back pain.
He has had numerous ear problems , has had anaesthetic to clean ears out, ear drops several times.
Recently he has had corneal ulcers and has dry eye, eye drops.
Skin infections , antibiotics.
I've thought a few times about getting insurance for him but always wondered about the pre existing condition clause.
now he's 8 he's probably going to get more problems as he's getting older.
I'm very grateful that all his problems have all been treatable and although unpleasant not serious.
has anyone get any advice re whether to start an insurance cover for him or if it's not going to be worth it because of his health problems?
I also wish I knew that this breed are prone too all of these issues,
It would certainly put me off getting another one.
Thanks
