| Toe amputation Hi All, I am new here and had a question. My dog Leia is in the hospital since yesterday and they say she needs to have a toe removed because she has a bone infection that antibiotics won't fix. The problem is, the surgery is going to cost $2500.00, that doesn't include the $3000.00 already accrued from being in there! Is this a normal amount for a Yorkie toe? It seems so high to me. Thanks, Terri |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I'm sorry to hear that Leia requires a toe amputation. Vet costs in New England can be pricey, but I agree that $2,500 sounds very high for the surgery. Is this an urgent care facility? Maybe that is why the price is high? Did the doctor indicate what may have caused the infection?

| I live in central Mass and we had to have a toe removed because it had cancer. I think it cost us about $1500. |
