Darwin was neutered at around 4.5 months old, his adult teeth obviously had not come in at that time. I took him back a few months later to have 3 baby teeth pulled...make sure you call around to check prices. I had vets quote between $150 to $800 to pull 3 baby teeth! We finally went with one of the less expensive/more thorough vets, who explained the entire procedure to us in person during an office visit for $45. She explained that the pre-work/IV and a lot of the extra things other vets quoted were unnecessary for such a routine procedure. They put Darwin under with sevoflurane gas, no needles, no shaving of his little paw, he was out for less than an hour, and woke up bright eyed and ready to play.
