i am deciding which place to get our male maltese neutered.
the first we found through the humane society about neutering:
Humane Society of Broward County - Low Cost Spay/Neuter
they sent us the information for the pet hospital that would be doing the surgery. i called to asked them about it and this is the breakdown they gave me.
$50 surgery (covers surgery, anesthetic, suture removal, overnight stay if required)
additional charges:
$51 preop bloodwork
$24 pain med injection
i forgot to mention that he will also be having a couple baby teeth extracted that did not fall out:
$19/per tooth
total = $162.70
the other place that i have always taken him too gave me the following breakdown in costs:
neuter from second place:
$240 (an additional $75 for laser surgery)
- includes Preop bloodwork, EKG, antibotics, i think they also said painmeds too.
teeth extraction:
$15/tooth.
total: $270-$345
since this is our first dog and first neuter scheduled for next week i need some help on things i should ask/know prior to handing our maltese over for his neuter?
i know everyone says the preop bloodwork is a must. shoud the blookwork be done a couple days prior to surgery or can it be done same day? are there specific meds that he should have and or avoid. is the laser surgery better/best for our maltese? is the second hospital overpriced? what are other people paying for neutering?
