Yesterday was Grey’s second acupuncture treatment.
According to Soo Farng, the vet says there is improvement in Grey’s condition.
The Methycobal injection into the affected site is effective too.
The vet advised that Grey should only be neutered next year, but he can already be vaccinated.
This treatment is defrayed by Soo Farng herself. She will take care of Grey’s medical expenses from now on. But our Neutering Aid and Vaccination Aid are still available for Grey.
As per policy, our Medical Aid is does not provide a 100% sponsorship. It is only an “aid”. We expect the caregiver to also bear part of the costs for several reasons. (1) Medical expenses are usually high and we cannot afford to give so much, (2) If the caregiver is not even able to pay part of it, how are they going to look after the animal for life? So, the ability and willingness to pay part of it serves as an indication (hopefully!) that the caregiver has the financial means and willingness to look after the animal in the long term.
To put it very bluntly, we do not pay people to look after animals. We help those who look after animals by lessening their financial burden a little bit.
