Is it too much for 2 procedure....?

That sounds about right. The spay is going to be the less expensive procedure in this. The tumor removal involves a lot more work, and so it's going to add a fair amount to the cost. I don't want to say the spay is routine, because no surgury is routine, but it's much simpler than a tumor removal and they usually run well over $100 in the cheap areas. It's best to do it all at once, because then that's one less time that your dog has to undergo anesthesia which is always a risk. It's also going to result in less recovery time overall for the pup. Also, does this include bloodwork before the surgery? If it does, then that sounds like a very reasonable price. There is a lot that goes into surgery. I would love to see what an ovariohysterectomy costs in the human world!

It is certainly better for the health of your dog to do it together. It is also cheaper as you only have to pay for the anesthesia once. The cost to spay varies by area of the country and also by breed. A large breed dog typically costs more than a small breed dog as larger quantities of anesthesia and suture material are required. In addition, due to the tumor removal, your vet will probably want to give a shot of antibiotic and then send you home with oral antibiotics (which again increases the cost but is necessary if there is a potential for infection).

It is cheaper to do it at the same time. Anesthesia is expensive and bad for the pet so doing it at one time verses two is best all around. However: DAMN!!! Thats more than a bit steep. I am appalled and all of these spay and neuters being hundreds of dollars.

I would get a breakdown of what the cost is and compare it to another vet. Considering most of the time the vet techs are doing most everything in the operating rooms don't worry about which vet is better. Spay is very common easy surgery. You don't need laser or a pain injection please don't fall for that. They give a pain injection when they are still under anesthesia and don't know they are in pain anyway. Second pain meds you go home with. Its an animal it needs to feel a little pain so it doesn't hurt itself.

It all depends on the area you live in... price varies. I know I spent a fortune getting my pup spayed since I wanted to do it where she had recieved all of her vet treatment thus far, and it was only a couple hundred less than what you're saying. So if getting the tumor removed is a couple hundred dollars, I would say it would be about average where I live.

It is better to do them at the same time. The more you put them under the more of a health risk it becomes. This cost sounds about right, if you do it together it would save you a seperate anethesia charge. I don't know how big the tumor is but this sounds about right.

It is better to have them done at the same time because you only have to put her under anesthesia once instead of twice. It would probably cost more if you had the surgeries done seperate. It sounds high for our area, but it is probably a normal amount for where you live. Good luck with your dog.

I have never heard of a 'puppy tumour'.

I don't know if this is a fair price or not, but, with a tumour involved, I wouldn't take time to shop around. What's £/$500 compared to the life of your dog?

It sounds reasonable to me - and it's better than the alternative of worrying about her and keeping her confined. Good luck with your puppy's recovery! Keep her from being too active and give her lots of love and comfort.

Thank you SO much for taking care of your dog like a good dog owner!

That sounds pretty reasonable to me. It is cheaper to do the procedures together because your only have to pay to have your dog put under anesthesia one time.

That figure isn't out of line for most areas I know of.
