At $63 per tooth you can imagine my jaw dropped to the floor, but it was done and Ollie doesn't look like a little shark anymore with his layers of teeth lol. I wish I hadn't been so paranoid when he was playing tug of war with me about hurting him haha, maybe more of his teeth WOULD have fallen out!! 
But yes his vet stressed to me the importance of removing them due to bacterial infections that could arise in their tiny mouths due to all the crowding. So make sure to have them removed!  |
That's ridiculous! My new vet removes baby teeth during a neuter/spay for free, and my old vet charges I think $15 per tooth.
