Most commonly, soft plaque suddenly ruptures (see vulnerable plaque), causing the formation of a thrombus that will rapidly slow or stop blood flow, leading to death of the tissues fed by the artery in approximately five minutes. This catastrophic event is called an infarction.
Large dog: $1,843 the first year, $875 per year after. Cat: $1,035 the first year, $670 per year after. The annual costs include food, regular medical expenses, toys, treats, litter, poop bags and miscellaneous spending. If the numbers seem high, you're going to cringe when you hear that they're only the minimum.
Cats can be just as expensive as their canine counterparts. Owners can expect to shell out between $500 and $1,000 a year, with higher costs for treatment of disease or injury or if youâre a frequent traveler. The good news is that cats require less grooming (they take care of much of it on their own), and they donât require paid dog-walkers while youâre away.
