Long Term Treatment Costs

Don't panic dry eye is usually treated with drops and you can buy them online with a prescription from the vets. This may or may not prove effective but I doubt you'd need an mri right from the off, that's usually done once drops stop being effective and nerve damage is suspected. Just tell the vet you prefer going down the conservative route for treatment. Drops may be effective for many years to come.

pdsa offer subsidised rates ....but only those receiving discounts on council tax.... blue cross offer advise... look them up...

PDSA will only help if you have Benefits and I don't, I have just had to lower my income very much since the start of this year for many reasons including having to take on a second job during COVID so it isn't that I didn't think before getting a pet it is that since getting her my circumstances have changed no end and I don't quite know what to do. I never bothered with insurance as we were quite well off and I didn't worry at all about vets costs. but now, it is just so different.

Scentia I think PDSA help people with limited incomes if their pets need treatment. I haven't lived in UK for a while so it may be different now.

These are hidden costs associated with pet ownership and one of the reasons why people should think carefully before acquiring a pet.
