So far, all of his top incisors have grown in front of his baby teeth which aren't loose at all. He also has one left on the bottom and a couple fangs that are growing in crowded. The vet called this am to tell me there are 9 teeth total that would need to be extracted.
Unfortunately, I love in Canada where each tooth costs $150 to extract! I find this extremely outrageous and can only afford the 2 fangs that could cause problems right now....
Just wondering if you think it is necessary to get all of the teeth removed or if they may eventually fall out in the next few months? I can not afford $150 per tooth!
Any suggestions?! |
Yikes!!! Sounds like you are getting ripped off... I don't think it has anything to do with living in Canada bc there are vets in the US that charge outrageous prices for teeth extractions/ dentals. I guess you can wait and see if some fall out on their own and maybe find another more affordable vet? Typically if the teeth are easy to remove and don't require much effort then they shouldn't be that expensive. Good luck! $150 per tooth is not acceptable!
