Remudamom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 One of our kids tried to rescue a hurt stray dog and ended up in the ER for the beginning of the rabies series. Whole nother story about me telling them all. the. time. to leave strays alone because of this very reason. (don't get me wrong, I understand wanting to help but she was not equipped to handle this) Anyhow, now I'm going to have to fight with the insurance people to get this taken care of. All the children have policies and on top of that we have accident insurance. I don't understand any of it. It's just my blind spot. This is what I hear when they try to explain. "Wah wah wah wah" Just drives me nuts. I think the insurance company is trying to get out of paying anything. Anyhow. Just a rant. Besides wanting to beat my head against a wall because apparently nothing I've ever said to the kids has penetrated their brains and now I have to fight with insurance people.

Danestress Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My sister had the same thing happen. The shots are so expensive, in the end, her insurance covered it, but the deductible still hurt. I sorry for you and your kid. I was so upset for my sister I was ready to explode.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Were they able to capture the stray? Any microchips so they can see if it had shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Stray took off. I doubt they'll find it. I really feel bad for the dog, but like I said, she was not equipped to handle the situation. This child frustrates me so. I'll never be able to think up all the situations I need to tell her to stay out of. And of course I'm an idiot for talking to her about the ones I do think of.

So sorry for you. I know how much this stuff drives a mom crazy. Hopefully they'll find the dog and the owner. Then you can get your money back from the owner.

Catwoman Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I know it's a nuisance and an expense, but thank goodness she wasn't seriously injured. The dog could have attacked her face or something. (I'm assuming she made a grab for him and he nipped her while trying to get away.)

Anne in CA Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have a cousin who is a missionary in Africa. Her little girl was bitten by a rabid monkey in the Congo, and since she has no insurance she had to pay for the shots herself, only, in the Congo the whole series was less than fifty dollars, although it was a lot of money to an African missionary, lol.

Miss Marple Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm so sorry! It is so hard not to stop to help those strays. We get dumped dogs out here all the time. I cannot count how many I've spayed and neutered and for whom I've found new homes. Your daughter has a good heart, maybe just poor judgment this time. I hope the dog can be found. Hopefully insurance will be reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: <---- one of those is for your dd, and having to get the shots. The other two are for you having to deal w/ the insurance company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks all. All I can say is that she comes by it honestly. I don't know how many dogs I've rescued. But I am very careful about touching, especially a dog that is hurt. I feel really bad for the poor dog too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabeth Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Insurance companies make me see red. And green cause I am a lawyer. :laugh: Your daughter will be fine and hopefully she will realize that Mother does know a few things...mine is the same way and she drives me batty with her fierce independent streak. We need to create a WTM cocktail recipe for things like this. Rabies shots for heaven's sake!! That is definitely deserving of a medicinal libation. For mother who tried to warn and now is in a ****storm. Here in Iowa we are in for a snowstorm and there ought to be a cookie recipe using chocolate for those occasions as well. I am sorry for the PITA insurance company because they do not know with whom they are messing. My prediction Remuda Mom=100% covered, Insurance company=Emptying their pockets to ante up...
