I have a policy for our dog with petplan. We used to be with them when we had cats and had no issues.
When the puppy arrived we saw the vet the very next day as it was a BH the day before. Vet said she was a little underweight and had a slightly bloated tummy. I took out the 4 week IVC there and then, 24 hours later we were back at the vets after diarrhea - worm diagnosis.
After 4 weeks the policy comes to an end, so I take out a full policy for life cover. The worm that has been and gone comes up on the phonecall and results in an exclusion on the policy for ANY gastro intestinal problems.
If I can prove no worm at time of taking out IVC then potentially gastric exclusion will be lifted, so the vet sends paperwork over and speaks to Petplan who say no dice. Currently the 12month ban is active of which approx 8 remain. If she goes to the vet with any tummy issue the ban rolls over for another 12mos.
Puppy is 8months old and is currently with an upset tummy... she pooed a bit of pepperami wraper yesterday?? has been sick today and had explosive poo x 1 otherwise her usual bouncy self.
What would my best option be? has anyone had anything similar? Worms are common as it's not like it was some horrific disease I don't understand the ban....
thanks for reading!!
