Last week i had to have some dental work done on my little guy, Baci. At 13 months a couple of his baby teeth hadn't erupted, another needed extraction, and some gum tissue needed to be cut away to give his adult molars the best chance of being retained. Anyway, I was was charged $700 by the dental specialist for just the bloodwork and one hour of anesthesia (propofol), NOT including the procedure itself.

Now, i am happy to provide him with everything he needs to be healthy and happy. I so deeply love him and gladly accept my responsibilities as his guardian, so that's not the issue. I'm just wondering if this is a fair price.

I also want to thank you all for this wonderful place to learn and share. I have been incredibly busy between work, school and my son, and have been remiss in posting pics of the sweetest, handsomest yorkie on the planet :-). I fully intend to remedy that soon along with a donation to this fantastic site. In the meantime, I thank all of you, from the bottom of my heart, for selflessly giving me the knowledge to be the best guardian I can be for be for my Baci.
