Taurozzi had pet insurance, but it didn't cover Coal's full medical bills. He said Coal's medical care cost more than $30,000. 

He raised more than $15,000 through a Go Fund Me campaign, which helped extend Coal's life and gave him the best medical care available.

I was devastated when I decided I couldn’t afford $900 in vet bills for my cats, but this is insane.

Seriously, WTF was the vet doing to that cat? Replacing every joint in its body?

My brother just had a similar bill for his dog... A mysterious infection that made her leg swell and took multiple rounds of antibiotics and IV/overnight stays to clear up. Then they realized the cause of the infection was a torn tendon on her leg which they had to repair through surgery. Incidentally through all these tests they were doing for the infection they discovered a highly treatable cancer which resulted in further surgery to remove a softball sized tumour. Dog is 8 so she's likely to still have a few years in her if all goes well...
