we have the problem also, a BIG factor is loads of 'loose' shavings, should be like walking on a matteress ,and will also keep the feet dry ,well worth the expense.
kazza looks like u have taken over the post , well we have a 12hhwelsh pony first diagnosed with lami 2 years ago ,18months ago pedal bone rotation then suspected cussions and metabolic syndrome , i posted on here about 4 months ago because we were going to have him PTS.because the viscious...
well its roused a few comments ,which i am pleased about,and at least 'doubletyme' may benifit from my post, thanks for all comments but to sum up i do think some of you will have a 'rude awakening ' whenit comes to trusting some insurance co's ,just one more question people may like to comment...
the con is the death policy,not worried about the treatment costs at all ,simply if you have a dead horse and your insured for such,no matter how long the illness has been then no payment thats the con ,how can people forsee the outcome and time scale of on going treatment
i'm not really moaning if you read the first post, i am just trying to advise/warn folks you have 12 months to get the job sorted otherwise forget insurance, though thats what a forum was for. while i,m on just to clarify at the start of the problem it was just 'lami'get him in box rest then was...
so as soon as your horse gets sick you jump on the phone to tell them all about it ahh/ dont think so.
now if tommorow it breaks a leg and has to be destroyed they pay out lovely, if its insured for death if it dies -pay out
well AMYMAY sorry but you are wrong this is my point,after 12 months of the same illness your on your own and if it doe,nt die or get euthanised within that period you get nothing.
yes tell them if you want to claim but we wern't bothered about the rolling costs but when it comes to the death and he is insured for it ,you expect a little bit, if his death or the cause of was not related to the treatment yipee we would get paid--
and as soon as you do, thats the end of cover for that problem again, if we thought it would come to this we probably would have, but even so after 12 months no pay-out
so the out come is the same even if they knew from the start.
what a con from a major insurance co.be aware
a quick run down. ---
we have a pony who has had lami 15 months ago it was quite bad and we have been treating pedal bone rotation etc.with remedial trimming/x-rays regular vets visits.although he is and has always been insured for vets bills and...
hope this helps
