| retained baby teeth Today i called the vets and booked Duke in to have 6 baby teeth extracted. He is going in on Tuesday 6th June and Im so nervous. Im not sure what to expect as none of my babies have ever retained their baby teeth It is going to cost £110 is that good price? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | what would that be in american dollars , do you know? has your puppy been fixed already? usually vets pull the retained baby teeth when the puppy is spayed or neutered. it makes it easier on the puppy so it doesn't have to go under anesthesia too often. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | hmm, that's a little bit pricey but since he's having 6 teeth pulled they probably put in extra for longer anesthesia. it might be cheaper when its over or it might be more expensive, depending on how long it takes to extract all the teeth. he'll be fine |

| OMG! You may want to call around to diff vets. Paris is going in Monday for 5 teeth extracted for $35 total. That's a big jump to your price!!

| I live near Balto and that is about the cost...I mean the one in UK..as I would pay. My vet does pre-op blood work and ALWAYS uses iso or sevoflurane GAS which is a bit extra. Vet charges are high in my area but if you like and trust your vet, you pay what they charge. Your boy will be fine and all you need to worry about is some soft food for the first evening... |

$35????? how is that possible? anesthetsia alone costs more then that and each extraction is usually between 18 and 35 dollars. is your vet not charging you for something or is he not putting paris under anesthesia? i would question him. I've never heard of a dental extration of 5 teeth for ONLY $35. | |

| LOL I cant imagine life without hamburger or tacos. You are going to have to try a taco sometime. They are good.

| Oh and I dont think that price you are paying is too bad. Im in Indiana and the prices are cheaper here and it still costs over a hundred dollars for the anesthia alone. I dont know what the extractions would cost because mine were done at their spay/neuter and the vet didnt charge for it
