| Getting Buddah Neutered...Have ?? :) I think it is about time I get Buddah neutered and have some of his teeth pulled. I talked to my vet and it seems EXPENSIVE! This is the breakdown they gave me $150-neuter and IV $45-test to make sure he is safe to go under antestisa $35-pain med $10-per tooth $35- if he needs antibiotics What have all of you been paying? This seems a little much. Its $230 minimum for the neuter then plus for the teeth and and meds he will need. Also I was planning on doing this Thursday morning pick him up around 3:00...I'll be off all day with him and all day on Friday and back to work Saturday. Is that enough time with him? Thanks for all your help guys |

| I would go ahead and get the pre-op bloodwork done. The price sounds a bit high, but different vets charge differently.

It doesn't seem too over the top...I've certainly heard worse. Its worth it if this is the vet you feel comfortable with.

| Yeah, there's a place here where I live that wanted to charge my mom $430 for neutering her dog, and that didn't include any removal of baby teeth, so while what you were quoted is expensive in some areas, it's reasonable in others.

| You should definitely have pre-anesthesia bloodwork, i think it would be a huge mistake not too! It's better to be safe then sorry!

| I would get the pre-op bloodwork. I'd never let any dog have surgery without it.
