@anthonylaing - I could feel the bump of it through gentle massage in the area. An X-ray confirmed it. Happily, although it had started to calcify, it hadn't bonded with any tissues or gotten septic. Fingers crossed, my vet said she should still be able to breed successfully in the future :)
@anthonylaing - Nope ... 11 policies would be stupidly expensive. I make myself a little emergency fund every so often .... but I'm also quite lucky that my vet accepts payment plans (not many do in this area).
@anthonylaing - Think it just depends where you go I suppose. In 15 years of keeping I've only needed vet attention four times. The general concensus I've seen is that your better off if you can put an emergency fund together - less hassle all round. E.g. - a lot of policies have exclusions (including egg-binding).
Sorry to hear that mate.

@Fuggit I thought you could get a policy for all (i.e. 1-10,10-50,50+) payment plans are ideal!

@Fuggit Yeah, well in the last 4 years of keeping, I've never had a problem, however I've not had many.
I should start a fund soon then! Thanks
