Insurance - 8 year old westie

I need advice please!

Our westie has just turned 8 and always had life illness cover with m&s. He had atopy which is a skin condition and we roughly claim £300 a year for this

His renewal has come through today and it's £1750, I cannot afford to pay this so have to cancel.

Other companies seem to want around £1k but cover up to 4K with a £1k per condition.

I'm seriously considering not insuring him as I don't work due to a disability

Any advice? I've rung our vet who's seeing him on Thursday to give a 3 month supply of atopy meds before we don't renew

The issue with not insuring is you risk having to pts it try and rehome as you can't afford treatment. I know westies can suffer from cruciate ligament issues for instance and that's bloody expensive.
