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!  |
i'm from socal too! what vet did you see? i live on the westside, close to marina del rey. i called this one place, dr. shanes veterinary medical center, and they quoted me $225 for neuter, which includes anesthesia, pain meds and a free toe nail clipping. they also quoted me $16 per tooth extraction. i would think the prices are the same for a spay.
