Neutering.. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

PokadotsLover · 07-28-2007, 03:18 PM

So bandit is getting neutered next month and I was just curious if these prices seem high or not.

Low Price High Price
Injection B 3.85 27.00
Castration w/ Anestisia 78.40 98.00
Isofluorane/30Min 35.00 35.00
Extraction of 2 Decidual K9 30.00 30.00
Deramaxx (pain meds) 12.74 12.74
Lab work- 54.00
So im looking at 191.25 - 256.74..
Also anything I should do to prepare for this??

Wow. My vet charges about 70 dollars or so..

LuvMyPrinceKobi · 07-28-2007, 03:50 PM

Mine was a whole lot more expensive, but I don't care. I know they are going to do the best job possible, and treat my baby 100 percent like their own so I didn't care. But yes, I think that might be high because I know mine was like ASTRONOMICAL. But if you feel comfortable with your vet, you might just want to stick with it! Good luck to you and Bandit...you'll both be fine!

Ellie had oral surgery earlier this year and the charges went something like this. This is taken from the estimate and isn't our actual bill. Preop bloodwork was $94, iv catheter and fluids $47, canine dental prophylaxis $105 (which included 45 minutes of isoflourine), it was $38 for every additional 15 minutes spent under anesthesia, simple extractions $45-$65 each (these were harder because they were adult teeth). We go to a really expensive vet. With a heartworm test, Ellie's bill came to over $600. It sounds like you're getting a deal. I am just wondering is your vet not going to do an iv catheter? I am not sure if they need it during neutering but I would never allow Ellie to be put under without one.

Its not listed but Ill ask about it when i go buy there, I have only used this one vets office since i had my poodle when i was 4. lol its irritating cause i have met 2 of the 4 vets and I just need to make sure one of them will be doing it.

La Princesa · 07-28-2007, 04:49 PM

mine was 166.00 with 3 teeth extracted

OmahaYorkMom · 07-28-2007, 05:19 PM

My vet runs about 117$ for neutering and that's with the injections, and even the liver test before they go under.

Rudys Mom · 07-28-2007, 06:27 PM

That total price, sounds about right to me.

coroth · 07-28-2007, 06:31 PM

WOWZA!! To go to the best vet in town (which we did!) to get...the job done...it was $75.

Jujubabe · 07-28-2007, 06:31 PM

I gotta live anywhere but here. $280 to get my Trink done.

Judy in Waco · 07-28-2007, 06:38 PM

Highest estimate I got was for $85, but that did NOT count any tooth extractions.

BubblPopElectrc · 07-28-2007, 07:30 PM

Not bad at all for here.

daso · 07-29-2007, 04:09 AM

thats cheap if you ask me. I paid $400 for my Rocky to get neutered. It cost about $50 extra because they made the cut with a laser which allows a faster healing time

ladybugg74 · 07-29-2007, 04:18 AM

We paid about 150.00-=160.00 or so, but we also had the additional blood work and stuff done too that was optional. They also had baby teeth pulled that needed to come out.

Hallee and Gracie both looked pretty bad post surgery when we picked them up and continued to look so the rest of the night. They both just layed on our laps all night. The next morning they were bouncing around like normal, like nothing had ever happened to them. The bounced back really fast, I thought.

Yorkiekids · 07-29-2007, 11:53 AM

We paid about $150, but I really felt safe with my vet, and he let's you pay on time. Great Guy.
