It was about 1.5 hours for us. We got to watch the spay (through an observation window) and the Dr was great with Roxy. She kept Roxy with her the whole time until we picked her up in the late afternoon. Roxy even went to a staff meeting! It was crazy. We thought it'd be a quiet night but she was running around crazy as soon as we got her!

Thanks everyone, the vet gave me a paper that showed the breakdown of the cost but I can't seem to find it. I remember pain meds, and head cone on the list. Lexie's still losing baby teeth do I'm gonna wait to spay her, in the meanwhile I'll look around at dif prices. I really like my vet but I don't see why the price has to be so high

Hi...You are right down the street from us...Do you mind if I ask who the vet is and how extensive their experience is with Yorkies?

We have an amazing vet but she wants over $500.00 includes dental, neuter, isoflourine, monitoring, pain meds, pre-op labs and microchip. If we spent another 200 she would take the dew claw left in the front.

My dads labrador puppy at 7 months had to have a luxating patella surgery and also got spayed at the same time, and including blood work, it was 750.00. I am just shocked some pay that much for a spay. I am fortunate to get a discount since i work there. So we dont pay much at all.

Not only is it crazy but to charge people those prices for a spay is a CRIME when every shelter is full of loving dogs, most of witch will not make it out alive, Now we all know why the shelters are full.

My cost didn't include a cone for Yuna, but even with the cone, it shouldn't cost that much. I opted to get one from here from Bo (Username: Mom to Hot Rod). It's a soft collar so it wouldn't hurt her and more comfortable than a stiff cone. But honestly, I didn't have to put the collar on yuna for long. She didn't lick too much. I usually left it on while I put the ointment so she wouldn't lick it. It is pretty crazy to see the price differences on this post!

We used Quail Hollow Animal Hospital for Roxy's spay.

Our normal vet is at Pasco Animal Hospital. I know he charges $65 for a spay (including blood work). I'm not sure what kind of anesthesia he uses though (I forgot but it's not the old one). He sees TONS of very small dogs. He's done surgery 2x on Lily (my Yorkie mix).

Who are you currently using?

We are in Hudson. We were using Bayonet Point Animal Hospital but had an incident when our Gizzy was diagnosed with Kidney Failure and switched to his partner who left, Dr. Sattler. She did all of his surgeries and we like her very much. I know the care she gives is outstanding but I'm afraid the cost right now is so expensive for us. Tarpon Animal Hospital, who I've heard is excellent as well is only $200 bu not sure if that would include the microchip.

Thank you for the information! I will definitely check it out. I want Teddi to have the best care but $500 is a bit steep for us at the moment.
