Newgreymom Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Dylan had a partial tail amputation today along with a full dental, toenail trim (while he was under) and was sent home with Clavamox and Tramodol. Our total bill was $187.00. I was absolutley amazed! I even asked the vet if he missed anything on the bill and he said No..I love our VET!!!

Guest Greyhoundbaby Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) it cost me more than that for 7 stitches and 1/2 afternoon! I love your vet too!

krissn333 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I still wonder how much Ace's tail amp would have cost if we'd gone to our regular vet. But it was a Saturday night so we went to the E-vet and it cost us $696 They did a wonderful job of taking care of my baby girl so every penny was worth it though Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

Guest VanillaBean Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Good Golly!!! That would have cost me at least $500.00! I love your vet too! Sorry about the tail too! Traci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Are you joking? I'd say clearly there were no x-rays taken of the jaw, so that's not a "full dental," but my vet charged me almost $400 when I brought in my greyhound and a cat for rabies shots: $54 for each animal for the "exam," I think something like $23 for the rabies shots, $45 for the SNAP test on the cat (hasn't been outside in 11 years) and then there was the "clotting factor" blood test she snagged me for ($105) because she had trouble getting the needle into the cat and she decided the cat had something wrong with it, and she also did a CBS on the cat (the "senior profile"). Now they send me reminder cards for the repeat of the test (which was totally normal!) every two weeks. I called them last night and said, "Why woudl I repeat an expensive blood test that was totally normal to begin with?" Mind you, my cat is 13 years old, she eats, sleeps, and poops, and that's it. She has never been sick a day in her life. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VelvetEars Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Ours was $250 for the same, with different drugs and a number of free follow-up visits for bandage changes and to monitor healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundlady Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'd give your vet a present! One dental alone for one grey was $545.25 here - and that was last year, so I know it has increased. I am pretty sure my vet has paid off a car based on my two greys and their dings, dents, wheel alignments and tune-ups (you get the picture) not to mention the stitches plus various other accessories. NJ is an EXPENSIVE place to live. Glad Dylan is doing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrostyBottoms Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 it cost me more than that for 7 stitches and 1/2 afternoon! I love your vet too! Sorry about the amputation Me too...but it was 15 stitches, and a wrap on the other leg too...the whole bill was $240. Hope Dylan is doing fine!

Guest bona60 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 That's quite reasonable. I wish he was in the Buffak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kwolf78 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hey where exactly did you have your pets tail removed, my vet is charging around 450 for a tail amputation so I was wondering if you could help me out a little bit. I'm from Illinois so it shouldn't so it should be all ok with a drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newgreymom Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 That was 8 years ago......Dylan is in heaven now, but lived a good long life. I miss him every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kwolf78 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well do you still remember the vet that you went to for Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I love it when we answer resurrected posts. Even if is twice the price today it would still be a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kwolf78 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Still not answered though.... We just don't have all that much money and so 187 bucks is a big difference compared to 450-500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Two threads got merged, one new and one old. Kwolf78, why does your pup need the amputation? Have you spoken with the vet about your financial constraints? Have you looked into care credit?

Hubcitypam Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Kwolf - I don't think it would be $187 eight years later. Don't know where you are in IL but when I lived in the Western suburbs of Chicago we went to Brumley Vet Clinic in Lisle and they were very reasonable.

Newgreymom Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Kwolf, we lived in Oshkosh, WI at the time. It was Algoma Blvd but I can't think of the name of the hospital. Dr. Jeff Popp did the surgery. He was o e of the nicest guys in the world. Good luck with your pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhndsr4us Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That was Lakeside Animal Hospital, Dr.Jeff was the best. He isn't there now, but the vets on staff are great. Their prices are still the best in town.
