Hi guys hope everyone is well
What I first thought was just a saggy belly..infact now feels like 2 lumps inside of it. Have booked Leo into the vet Tomorrow arvo but am very scared he has eaten something he shouldnt of :-[
I have to watch his every move as he just eats everything. Yesterday there was a tiny piece of plastic in his stool..
He is eating, going to the toilet & playing as normal but Im still worried. A couple of Months ago he was sick (1st & last time since) & amoungst it was a tiny ball of foil (He used to love playing with balls of foil but I havent given him any since he was sick..)
Anyway wish Leo luck guys.. im dreading it..I really hope its something simple like a bladder infection but something is telling me its not going to be that simple. To top my day off my dream job short listed me & another lady out of all interviewed & she got it over me as she could speak Dutch.. & its a Dutch Co.. :tired:
-
fingers toes and paws crossed for Leo.
:hug:

oh that sux big time Lisa - still, better luck next time. If the insurance has been accepting your money they have accepted responsibility for your cover. If they challenge it, then point this out to them. If they still baulk, Suggest they give your money back so you can pay the bill. Fingers and toes crossed for the lovely Leo! :hug:
-
Having nothing practical to offer you, except so good wishes and good luck for tomorrow. xx Give the Leo monster a cuddle from us. x
-
Finger crossed for Leo, thinking of you and Leo. :hug:
-
It's natural to worry - we've all been there.
Wait and see what the vet says. It might be absolutely nothing - of course we understand how you are feeling at the moment and keep everything crossed for you for the visit to the vet.
Please let us know how you get on..
:Luv2: :hug:
-
hope that leo is ok tomorrow :hug:
if you are only signed to axa from 1 april , sadly you will not be covered as there is a 14 day period before the insurance becomes active, as with most companies.

Hi Lisa,
Like everyone else I pray that little Leo is going to be all right. Fingers and paws crossed for him.
I cannot advise on the insurance but if you have been subscribing to it but forgot to return the form, then I would think you have a case. If it transpires that the insurance lapsed and you forgot to renew it, then I would think it unlikely that you will be covered. I'm sure it will be as Gill says....a fourteen day delay. I don't know why insurance for pets cannot start with immediate effect like car insurance does, but there you are.
So sorry about the job....you just have to take solace in the thought that it wasn't meant to be....something better will turn up. :)
Get well soon Leo. :hug:
Best wishes,
Roz

Sending positive vibes for gorgeous Leo at the vets today! :get well 2:
-
Hope everything goes ok at the vets today
-
Roz, it is probably to cover them from people insuring their pets just because they suspect something, and want cover in place, as accidents in the 14 day period are till covered.
-
Hope Leo gets on okay :hug:
-
Sending all the positive vibes possible for the lovely Leo xxx please let us know how he gets on xxx
-
Hope it all goes well today for you & Leo. :hug:
-
best of luck at the vets today :hug: Give darling Leo a bit cuddle from me :Luv:
-
Good luck today Leo & Lisa :hug:

Hi
Please let us know how Little Leo goes, wishing him all the best and keeping everything crossed. :hug:
If your insurance gives you problems I really would check the small print and whether any money has been paid to them. If they've been taking the payment DD anyway they haven't got a leg to stand on really. I have had a similar problem, although with a different type of insurance product as I used to have to sell it for my job and therefore needed a City and Guilds qualification in insurance sales. It is always best to read the smallprint very carefully and, even if it is in the policy wording that it needed to be returned, if they have been taking the money anyway this could be deemed an unfair contract.
Good Luck and PM me if you need any specifics about the policy and who to approach for help.
-
Lisa, I'm so sorry about the job....that must've been really stressful.
Good luck at the vets, Leo. :) Hope it's nothing too serious. (My oldest cat has had a lump on her tummy for years, it's just fatty tissue.)
-
Good luck little Leo!!
-
Thanks everyone.
I spoke to Axa yesterday & they said he was covered from 1st April.
God.. Im screwed if he isnt.. looks like I can wave goodbye to my flat :(
-
Just called to confirm again & explained the situation. I spoke to a lady who said that if it is illness relating to an accident then he will be covered. eg.. foreign body.. which Im pretty sure it will be? Obviously I won't know untill I take him later but we'll see. Im so glad now I set cover up to start on April 1st.. Fingers crossed
:thanks:
-
sounds like you have a plastic/foil/whatever muncher on your hands and you'll have to hide everything from little Leo! Hope he's fine in no time and that the insurance pay out. Sorry about the job too.
-
Ive just done lots of reading up on this subject & it will always state that if it is a foreign body causing a blockage then there is always vomiting, loss of appetite, unusual stools etc etc. Well I will soon find out.
Thanks for all the best wishes
-
Well just got back from Vets & can't tell you how releaved I am!
The two lumps are infact his fat pouches!!!.. His fat pouches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yesss: ha ha How silly do I feel ?!
She assured me he isnt over weight but all she kept saying was "He's definately going to be one of the BIG ones!" So apart from porky belly shall we say absolutely nothing wrong with him.. I feel a little silly but Im releaved & glad I took him all the same - PHEW !
-
Yay thats fab news Lisa....so glad Leo is fighting fit! ;D
-
Oh, Lisa, I'm so pleased.. Big tummy tickles for Leo ;D
-
:cheer: well done Leo..!
-
great news!!! nothing like a bit of belly fat I always say :Luv:
-
What a relief ;D
Much better safe than sorry though and well done Leo :hug:
-
Phew! Glad Leo is OK, sadly there is no cure for your hypochondriac-ism :evillaugh:
-
Don't feel silly. I'm sure your vet was happy charging you £30 for the info? :evillaugh:
-
Mark they were really good.. I only paid for the wormer ! £4 something !
-
So pleased the gorgeous Leo is OK Lisa. I admit I chuckled when I read the result of the visit but he has a mummy that really cares, so don't feel silly. Well done Leo - keeping us humans on our toes :Luv2:
-
Dont feel silly you did the right thing. Glad it is nothing to worry about
-
Glad Leo's OK. :)
-
Phew, what a relief. Welcome back by the way Lisa
-
Don't worry about it! I hope Leo (not Little Leo anymore :) ) has had a nice nosh to celebrate his tummy rolls?!
-
Hey, nothing wrong with a few fat pouches! I can vouch for that :evillaugh:
So pleased to hear that everything is fine with Leo, that your insurance is okay and that you won't have to sell your flat. :Luv2:
Sounds like you have had a rather trying few days - hope that the very least you might be able to curl up on the sofa (with Leo, of course) and enjoy a stress-free weekend. ;D
-
I did have to have a little giggle Lisa :evillaugh:
I am so glad our Leo is ok, Glad your vet isnt one of those vets who harps on when a cat is a tad over weight - It really gets on my nerves, all cats are different and wont weigh 4kg on the dot !!!
-
So pleased that Leo is fine :Luv:
-
Aww, glad it was nothing too serious.
-
So pleased Leo is fine and what about some big boy pictures ;D
