Default Spay & Double Teeth Estimate

Bailey went to the vet yesterday for rabies. Luckily she's totally fine, no reaction! I'm glad I waited. Also got a weight for the first time since 4 months. She's 7 and a half months now so probably full grown, and she weighed in at 3 pounds 11 ounces. I'm surprised she's stayed so small!

Anyway, while I was there I asked about a quote for her spay as well as microchip and double tooth removal at the same time. Overall it seems a bit pricy. I was just wondering what a good price is. It would be great to hear ballparks of what others paid.

Here is the breakdown:
$200 for spay itself
$60 for blookwork
$63 for microchip
$85 for tooth removal

It's especially the tooth removal that seems high to me, since she only has one small double. Is there any chance at her age that it can still fall out on her own? And how bad is it to have a double tooth if I don't get it pulled?

Oh, also he said she might have a luxating patella issue. He said it's stage 1 or something like that. She's always jumping off my bed and I wish she'd stop, but even with the doggy stairs she still jumps! If anyone has any suggestions or experience with that I'd love to know more about what I can do to keep it from getting worse!

THANKS!
