I've been looking in this forum and have learned I need to ask about Amicar but so far the costs I've seen are way below our estimate. Babe has very bad teeth and is at the point a dental is a must. She will lose most of her teeth and need some flaps. The blood work will be done. The vet that will be doing it has been in practice many years and has been focusing mainly on dentistry for the past three years. The vet's office is state of the art and they have a ventilator and use some kind of blanket that helps control temperature and other stuff I can't remember. I'm 100% confident in the team. They say it will take two to three hours. The estimate a couple months ago was $2,200 and he looked at her the other day and now we're up to $2,600. Her insurance does not cover dentals. The best they can do for us is a 5% discount and a year instead of six months on Care Credit. For many reasons, one giant expense after another, it's just not financially possible to spend that kind of money right now. I don't really want anyone else to do it as I'd never forgive myself if something bad happened to her. It is just so frustrating. We have four dogs and two cats completely covered by insurance so that alone is a big wallet chunk. We've done dentals before but none were this expensive. My question is, has anyone had to spend that kind of money on a dental? Do I need to adjust my perspective?
