Awww I hope Smokey is ok and recovers quick and is back home with you and Helen soon...
I know all about not being able to claim in the 1st 14 days too!
When our GSD, Kira was 8 months old she slipped over and was hopping lame on one of her back legs, so took her to the vet in case she'd broken anything. Luckily she hadn't, but the xrays showed up she had severe hip dysplasia
The 6 months free insurance with PetPlan that came free with her when I bought her had just run out, I didn't want to renew with PetPlan so took out a new policy for her with the ins co we'd had our previous dogs with..... it was 10 days into the new policy when the HD was found and of course the ins co didn't want to know. I also thought - if only I'd waited 4 days before taking her to the vet.
Kira is now 4½ years old and shows no outward signs of the HD bothering her yet, but she is on medication, which was costing us £40:00 a bottle from the vet, until I found a place online called
PetDrugsOnline where I can get it for £23:00 delivered on presciption. A vet by law has to give you a prescription so you can get drugs cheaper elsewhere. I also get wormers/flea stuff online at half the price the vet charges for it. That shows the huge profits vets make when they dish out medications.
