I am really not huge on the breeder testing the puppies for everything because that would be so much money and I think they are too young. Maybe a bile acid test and blood panel for the pups... I would also buy only from a breeders whose lines are clear of any serious problems.
A bile acid test here is $77 (plus $28 hospitalization fee and $1.31 for food if you leave them and sometimes you have to).
Urinalysis: $25
Exam: $38
Xray (one view) $80
Blood panel and CBC: $100
I woule expect to pay between $400-$800 for testing on one adult at Ellie's vet. |
They charge you $28.00 hospitalization....wow....I was ready to take P home and the vet told me to leave him because they were going to feed him in 2 hrs. they did charge me for the food....but the 2 hr stay was included in the $68.52 charge for the BA test. It's amazing how much $$$ varies from state to state.
