Is your vet a surgeon? I would suggest a second opinion from an internal medicine specialist. $1500. sounds too cheap! Normally this type of surgery runs from $2500. to $4500. |
Thank you, my vet isn't but is sending me to one about 10 miles away and he quoted them for me. However I have been doing a lot of research and find that is cheap compared to other people, so I am going to have to do research as well on the specialist. Thank you for your help!
