We had ours done as a preventative, because I'd read so many horror stories about stomach flip, and didn't want to go through that. So we opted to go ahead when our guy was being neutered. That way he was already under (save money on anesth., bloodwork already done, etc.). It was NOT laproscopic, but was done with a laser rather than a knife. The estimate I'd been given was $750, but it actually came out to just over $500
, including meds...for the neuter and tacking. The actual plexy surgery charge was $250 (for just the straight-up surgery part...nothing else added on). I asked why I "came in under the estimate" and she said I may have been quoted the emergency price (which of course actually adds up to a LOT more when you figure in IVs and overnight stays, etc....can be well over $1000).
