She doesn’t seem particularly zonked out at the time, both times she just needed rasping. For the March visit she was in overnight, but was turned out after for the October visit. It does seem a little bit too long after, but it’s just strange it has happened twice.
I have a mini Shetland that is not great with the vet and needs to be sedated for her dental check up.
She is checked every six months and for both visits last year, around 7-10 days after each check up, she developed a mild case of colic, which required minor treatment.
It seems too much of...
We have previously had our vet out to our Shetland for what our vet believes was an allergic reaction to something, most likely dust. It usually happens when we bring them in overnight during the winter. On his vet history our vet had marked him down as having an asthma related illness.

After receiving the letter from my vet, my insurance company have finally agreed to pay out today.
I'm a bit disappointed with the company (who have always been pretty good in the past), as I think they were trying it on...
I hope not!
We did ask the vet at the time if the ulcers were in any way related to her colic surgery and they said no.
Hopefully the vets letter will convince them and they will pay out.
I don't see how they can exclude ulcers under the colic exclusion, but knowing insurance companies...
So under the old policy they are excluding the ulcer treatment under the colic exclusion, but are now making a specific exclusion for them under the new policy as gastro intestinal disorders.
We are technically claiming under last years policy (where we only had the colic exclusion).
We put the claim in once the new policy had literally just started, but because the symptoms were noticed prior to the new policy staring it should still be covered under the old policy (although they...
Sadly they added the new exclusion within 4 days of putting in the claim, shame they took 3 months to tell us we were not covered!
I think I'll just scrape the policy when it's next due and put some money in a savings account in future.
I just hope the vets letter will be enough to get...
