I just scheduled my kitten for a spay surgery next Tuesday. The receptionist was giving me the run-down on pre-op procedures and then she mentioned the optional fees. The regular cost will be $200, but they offer IV fluids during the operation for an additional $60.
My sister is bringing in her kitten on the same day, and her kitten needs an additional operation to correct a hernia. So hers will be $260 plus the additional $60 for fluids if she chooses this route.
I have looked up info online and all the sites I have found were from vet offices. They all say that the IV fluids are important for the safety of the cat under anaesthetic as well as for quicker recovery. Do they help a lot?
EDIT - I am paying the extra fee. They told me it increases the safety of the procedure and I am happy to provide that service for my pet. I am just curious to see if anyone has any further information on the process.
