[nagdu] pet insurances

[Tatyana]

Hi,
What would  happen if the pit bull  attacked a human, and he or she needs
urgent care or surgery and she or he does not have a medical insurance. And 
the pit bull's owner, who is supposed  to be responsible  for an expanse 
does not  have immediate money too.

> I know that when I've gone to my search engine, I did research on pet

> a discount for guide dog users.
> One question I asked one time when speaking to a pet insurance company was
> if they'd cover the cost for a pet ambulance if one exist in a state that
> a guide dog handler lives in.
> Their answer was, "What is a pet ambulance?"
> Sad thing is not too many states will have a pet ambulance service at all
> and then the handler is stuck with having to utilize a taxi cab company to
> transport the dog to an emergency vet.
> User is then stuck with having to pay for the transportation part because
> pet insurance won't even pay nor cover it.
> Only states that I know of so far who do have a pet ambulance program is
> in Phoenix, Arizona and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
> Here in Colorado, we used to have it, but that wend down under and out of
> business.
> I actually experienced a rough task one time of having to rush Odie to
> University Hills Animal Hospital during February, 2006.
> I had no one to help me on hand to get him there immediately as he was
> really ill and vomiting continuously.
> We ended up taking public transportation to get to the vet.
> Misfortune struck on the way there when he threw up on the floor of the
> bus while riding the former route89X to get me over to the Southmore
> Transfer Station during that time upon making another connection that
> would get me close enough to the vet.
> It was an embarrassing experience of Odie vomiting on the bus.
> Luckily, some passengers were very kind and offered to help me clean up
> the mess as I had a roll of paper towels on me.
> Bus driver told us just to cover it up and leave it as he'd already called
> into dispatch for a bus trade.
> When Odie and I borded on to the bus, I was considerate enough to warn the
> driver that my boy wasn't feeling good.
> Driver and passengers all took it with stride.
> I not only felt bad, but also felt as if I ruined everyone's appetites for
> the evening along with their day.
> Bus driver nor passengers weren't upset and felt glad that they could try
> to help out.
> Odie also felt embarrased and sad for making a mess.
> The next time he ended up having to go to the vet when he felt ill again,
> I was able to get someone to help me get him down there.
> My hopes are that as long as I continue to be a dog user, I'd rather not
> have to go through what I did when it came to doing public transportation.
