Couple Spent $155K In Three Years On Medical Bills For Their Pet by Nobody: 8:41pm On Jan 02, 2017 |
Kate and Ben Stern from Brooklyn have spent $155,000 worth of medical treatment over the past three years on a French Bulldog they adopted in 2013 and named Jones. They love him so much he played the very important role of ring bearer at their wedding. Things however turned sour few months after his adoption when he began vomiting and later choked on his own vomit and got pneumonia. The couple went all out in a bid to save the life of their beloved pet. Ben, a software developer at Dropbox, said: 'Your pet's life shouldn't have to be a financial decision.' Jones's first visit to the vet following the initial vomiting saw him being put on the ventilator, which cost $10,000. With a 30 percent chance of survival, he was moved to a pet hospital where his five-day stay cost $50,000. Since his initial visit, Jones has been put on a ventilator three times as he suffered from chronic lung and esophagus problems. The couple's medical bills have come out to around $155,000, much of which has been covered by pet insurer Trupanion. Kate, a manager at Uber, said: 'Our savings has taken a pretty big hit, but it's worth it to keep Jones with us.' Jones takes nine pills a day and his condition is improving. |

First you dey see say he be software developer. Those guys are doing good. Dropbox is a huge company.there is a possibility that as part of making a more modern employee entitlement policy, there may be some form of insurance the company offers that supports their animals. Work with google and know what im talking about! and its not like africa, anything that has life has value. Go jam tree for obodo oyibo make you see the fine you go pay if you come out alive. Because they would have to also treat the tree... naija na cursed place |
