I keep an "extra" credit card that's for medical costs only, mine or the
ferrets'.  Nothing else goes on that card, so I know that I've always got a
cushion to fall back on in case of emergencies.  It also means it's easy to
figure out quickly when trips to the vet were made, because the statements
are (thankfully) short, and I have a rough profile of everybody's medical
history.  If you're in a position where you can get another credit card, I
really recommend doing so-- you can avoid heartbreak like the story we read
on Thursday later on if you plan ahead now.
