2K? HFS! That's crazy. But, I guess most people don't have pet insurance and these places know it, so they want their cash upfront. So, if the animal is from a family that is not well off financially, then that pet is as good as dead because he ain't getting treated. Which sucks.

I have seen a few sites have payment plans for treatment, but still. I bet they tack a nice little 21% interest rate on top of that.
