How much does it cost to remove a Doberman Pinscher's dewclaw?

Question

My 9 month old / 100 pound Doberman regrew one of his dewclaws (front leg) and either snags it or bumps it on various stuff around the house and yard.  I know it's causing him pain from the yelps and his limping around for a minute afterward, but then he's back to whatever he was doing.  I've tried wrapping it with gauze, but he won't leave it alone until it's gone.

Along with a ballpark $ amount, are there any negative side effects of having it done at his age?
How long does the post-removal recovery take?

I know this is ALOT to ask of some Yahoo'ers but, I'm only interested in reading intelligent responses.  If you're not capable of giving an intelligent response, just don't respond.  I know the world is full of idiots and morons, I don't need further proof.

As my Dobermann matured I noticed his dewclaws were not flush to his leg and have broken off to the digit or cracked/snagged when out and about exercising/catching at home.

The advice from my vet when I discussed the risks and benefits of a surgical option was it would be an amputation under general anaesthetic to remove the dewclaws and redundant toes/digits, with a quick recovery and a period of lead only exercise to allow the wound to heal.

The cost was approximately £250.00 ($402)

Not sure on the cost (please im not being a dumbass) But it shouldnt affect him to have them removed at any age, my uncle had the back ones removed from his dog when she was more than 12 months while she was being spayed, the recovery was pretty much nothing, only a couple of sticthes and no special after care.
Not sure if the surgery requires your dog to be under anesthetic or not. (as my uncles dog was already under)

$402, that sounds like a pretty major op, i guess my uncle was lucky as it did not incure him an additional cost to the spaying, but i understand that front dewclaws are different from back ones, i'll be keeping that info in mind myself as my own dog snagged one of his front ones the other week, broke the claw clean off, but it grew back in a couple of days, however it looks kind of crooked now, great info though.

If you were only interested in intelligent responses, you'd phone your vet.

"you're saying I can't get an intelligent response from somebody that doesn't have a degree in veterinary medicine?? "

Only your vet knows what he or she charges. Nobody else.
