Sorry it just annoys me when people 'have a go' at people using a service that is designed for them, its for people of a low income, it doesn't mean they don't have to contribute it just means that if you are desperate and that your animal is in need of emergency treatment then your pet wont die!
Standard treatments are still charged at a set rate (neutering injections, fleaing, worming etc)
And like I said, even if an animal was run over and I didn't have a penny to spare I could get treatment and go back a week later to donate when I did. And continue to do so until I felt I had paid enough.
Some people do abuse it yes, but to jump on a poster straight away for just asking a question, assuming they are doing something bad or are irresponsible, its just not nice.
My uncle has 2 dogs and a cat, he has had them all for at least 5 years (the cat longer) and he has now got chrones disease, he did not have this when he got them.
So when he was diagnosed he should have done what?? They are his animals and he loves them.
