He practices both western and alternative veterinary medicine and will call you on his day off to follow-up if your baby was seen by him and is in recovery from illness/injury.

Extractions can be expensive because they have to be anesthetized. I had the extractions and spay done at the same time. Cost can vary depending on if you choose to have blood work, EKG and other precautions for the surgery.

I am so glad I took all precautions - the EKG showed one of my girls had an irregular heartbeat that could have been very dangerous under anesthesia. We were able to treat her and after some follow-up she was able to have the surgery.

Hope this helps and most importantly -- Congrats on your new baby!
I'm still wondering about the high cost of extractions in California. I understand that there are preoperative blood tests and the cost of anesthesia. However, when the cost of pulling teeth is $70.00 per tooth in California vs $10.00 per tooth Texas. And in California the vet tech is performing dental and in Texas the Vet is performing the procedure, I wonder why the outrages difference in fees.
