I'm glad someone posted this I just went to the vet and they gave me Lucy's spay estimate I'll put the breakdown down below. I'm conflicted because when I bought her they gave me a certificate to have a free spay at the Animal Care Center in our area, I went there for her first 2 vet appointments and it seemed fine but I'm worried about taking her someplace that I've only been to twice, while this other vet has been treating our dogs since i was born. Anyway here is the price breakdown:

(I would be getting these tests done at this vet regardless of who spays her)
Pre=Surgical Profile 112 CVL $45
Bile Acids Pre & Post Prandial 257 IDEXX $90

IV fluids-Routine Surgery $45
Rimadyl Injection $26
Ovariohysterectomy-spay K9 < 30 lbs $180.00
Anesthesia-Monitoring
Toe nail trim
Surgical Hospitalization
Buprenorphine injection
Rimadyl 25 mg chewable $10.25

Total estimated charges $406.90

I don't know what to do that's a lot of money but I'm not sure what is included in the free spay at the other clinic so I guess maybe I should call and find out what is included. What is generally included in teh cost of a spay?
